Abstract: Mild cognitive decline is a feared aspect of aging associated with frailty experienced by individuals. Objective: To determine the number of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI); to determine the relationship of sociodemographic and clinical variables by group of individuals with or without MCI and to determine the relationship between MCI assessed by 6CIT and the cognitive domains assessed by the MoCA. Methods: A correlational study was conducted of 44 elderly individuals attending a day-care… Show more

“…Cognition is a main component of frailty due to aging that could be enhanced by exposure to education and exhibiting complex life-long activities. Diet-related factors like sedentary lifestyle and lower food consumption that leads to protein-energy malnutrition are important contributors to the progression of frailty (25). Many helpful actions and new technologies are now available that may secure a better state of living for aged people.…”

“…The abilty to develop IADL and ADL, remains the same, as in the IM. This might be related to the fact that the person builds skills through time and knows already how to perform these abilities and apply other complementary strategies to keep performing activities independently (27)(28) .…”

“…Usually, an ineffective health response for a short period of time, considered reversible, reflecting in the memory and/ or in other cognitive abilities, is acute confusion (15) . However, if there are permanent difficulties (after treatment of reversible causes), the diagnosis is IM (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) . Finally, if the problems reach other cognitive areas, added to demonstration of dependency, the diagnosis is CC (30,(33)(34) .…”

“…Cognitive reserve, formed by exposure to educational level and complex activities throughout life, would help resist neural damage. 40 Because the educational level is usually higher in HIC, people would be more protected from cognitive decline than people of the same age in LMIC. In fact, findings show that successful aging predictors may be different between developing countries, such as Brazil, and HIC.…”
