The factor structure of the MoCA in early PD was not consistent with that of previous research. This may reflect higher cognitive performance and differing demographics in our sample. The results do not support a clear, clinically relevant factor structure in an early PD group, suggesting that the MoCA should be followed with detailed assessment to obtain domain-specific cognitive profiles.
