【Ａｂｓｔｒａｃｔ】　ＯｂｊｅｃｔｉｖｅTo study the characteristics of Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) scale in the mild cognitive impairment （MCI） patients aged over 80 years with office backgrounds.ＭｅｔｈｏｄｓEighty-three cases aged over 65 years with office backgrounds in Nanjing were selected and diagnosed by clinic parameters and the MoCA scale. The cases were divided into three groups: patients aged under 80 years with MCI(group A), patients aged over 80 years with MCI(group B), patients aged over 80 years without MCI(group C). The scores of MoCA scale in three groups were compared.ＲｅｓｕｌｔｓThe scores of the executive function and word fluency were worse in group B than those in group A and group C. The levels of serum cholesterol and platelet aggregation rate in group A were highest among the three groups.ＣｏｎｃｌｕｓｉｏｎｓThe cognitive functions, especially executive function, are decreased with aging in older MCI patients because of atherosclerosis and so on.
