| Abstract | Objectives: To evaluate the validity of brief cognitive screening tools (BCS) designed to diagnosis mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia in Spanish-speaking individuals from Latino -America over the age of 50 years. Methods: Systematic search of titles and abstracts of Medline, Biomed Central, Embase, Scopus, Scirus, PsycInFO, LILACS, and Scielo was conducted. Only papers written in English and Spanish involving samples from Spanish-speaking Latin-American and published until 2018 were considered. Standard procedures were applied for reviewing the literature. The data related to the study sample, the methodology and procedures applied, as well as the performance obtained with the corresponding BCS were captured and systematized. Results: Eleven of 211 articles met the inclusion criteria. The studies involved mainly memory clinics-based samples, with the exception of two studies from an adult day care centers, one from a primary care clinic and one from a community-based sample. All the studies originate of five countries from 20 countries of LA. All the studies used standardized diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of dementia and MCI, nevertheless the diagnostic protocols applied differed. Most studies reported samples with an average of 10 years of education and only one reported a sample with an average of fewer than 5 years of education. No publications to date have included an illiterate population. MoCA is the most widely-used BCS in LA, but this has significant impact of education level Conclusions: Existing evidence is limited. However, the findings in LA populations suggest the MoCA requires cultural adaptations and different cut-off points according to education level and the diagnostic validity of the IFS should be evaluated in populations with a low education level. Considering the heterogenous education, more study spatially in illiterate and indigenous population are needed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
