Adaptation of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for the Reunion Island Population
This study is adapting the Mini-Mental State Examination, a common memory and thinking screening test, to fit the culture of Reunion Island. Researchers will compare the new version with the standard French one in healthy older adults and in people with Alzheimer's or vascular cognitive problems. It is a test-validation study, not a drug trial, so there is no phase.

- For the healthy population : aged 60 to 89 years, residing in Reunion for more than 5 years, able to understand the test instructions, available for a one-hour interview, affiliated with a social security scheme, with informed consent.
- For the sick population : aged 60 to 89 years, residing in Reunion for more than 5 years, presenting probable or possible Alzheimer's disease and/or probable vascular cognitive disorder, able to understand the test instructions, available for a one-hour interview, affiliated with a social security scheme, with informed consent.
You're excluded if
- For the healthy populationhistory of neurological pathology, neurodegenerative pathology with cognitive expression, refusing to participate in the study, under legal protection.
- For the sick population: acute unresolved medical decompensation or acute psychic decompensation, refusing to participate in the study, under legal protection.
