Scales to assess activities of daily living, like the Everyday Abilities Scale for India (EASI), have been employed as screening tools for dementia or major neurocognitive disorder. EASI had not been validated in Malayalam. This study\u2019s objective was to validate the Malayalam version of EASI (M-EASI) in those aged \u226560 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In a study undertaken in a tertiary care center, those aged \u226560 years attending psychiatry, neurology, or geriatric clinic of general medicine departments were evaluated using M-EASI and the Malayalam version of Addenbrooke\u2019s Cognitive Examination (M-ACE).

Taking M-ACE scores as the gold standard for diagnosing MNCD according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders\u2014Fifth Edition criteria, there were 162 cases of MNCD and 142 normal controls. Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 was 0.91. At an optimal cut-off of 4.5, adequate sensitivity (77.8%), and specificity (75.4%) were observed.
