    The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Test is an instrument to measu­re mild cognitive impairment and dementia condition in older adults and has a correlation with the morphological component. Fifty-four (54) female indi­viduals, between 60-70 years old, were studied and morphological variables were recorded with the SECA mBCA514® impedance equipment: lean mass, fat mass, muscle mass and segmented muscle mass in five compartments. Cognitive functions were evaluated with the MoCA test. The results were reported in means and standard deviation in the morphological component: age (years [63.9 ± 3.3]), height (meters [m] [1.53 ± 0.07]), weight (kilograms [kg] [67.04 ± 12.2]), waist circumference (centimeters [cm] [94.4 ± 11.6]), body mass index (BMI) (27.6 ± 3.7), fat mass (kg [26.4 ± 7.4]), lean mass (kg [40.6 ± 7.3]) and segmented muscle mass in five compartments. For the cog­nitive variable with MoCA: visuospatial (2.4 ± 1.1), animal denomination (2.6 ± 0.5), memory (1.6 ± 1.8), attention (3.3 ± 2.0), language (1.5 ± 1.0), abstraction (1.3 ± 0.56), orientation (5.7 ± 0.52), total (18.3 ± 5.5).
