“…In the relationship between schooling and language, 33.0% of the illiterate elderly presented alteration, which was partially compatible with the study of Lenardt et al 23 where the association between the fragility syndrome and the cognitive performance of 737 elderly individuals was analyzed, showing that the highest prevalence of low performance in the MMSE were observed among elderly, low-educated, female individuals. The authors also pointed out lower performance of the illiterate elderly women, who presented the lowest scores (less than 13 and between 13 and 17 points).…”

Similarly, another study 18 which examined the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation in cognition and in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in elderly noted that stimulation improved the cognitive condition of the elderly.…”
