“…Lack of companionship in old age is a phenomenon related to loneliness and associated with depression; moreover, the death of a family member or a particularly important person can also be an event that triggers depressive symptoms (30,34) . A study conducted in the countryside of Minas Gerais portrayed this condition as a contribution to cognitive decline, inferring that the presence of company is a factor for greater cognitive stimulation (35) . The continuity in family and community relationships contribute to the prevention or delay of cognitive deficit, and the results of the present study confirm that elderly people living without companions had a higher occurrence of cognitive deficit (36) .…”

“…Estudos destacam a associação do desempenho cognitivo de idosos com a presença de sintomatologia depressiva nesse ciclo da vida, como um fator influenciador para o declínio cognitivo em idosos (Dias et al, 2020;Wiels et al, 2020). De semelhante modo, evidências destacam a importância dos níveis de escolaridade no desempenho cognitivo dos idosos, assim como na interpretação dos escores obtidos (Domiciano et al, 2014;Tavares et al, 2017).…”
