“…33 Similarly, a household survey performed in Uberaba-MG, with 2898 elderly individuals, reported that the group with cognitive decline exhibited the greatest proportion of functional disabilities. 11 It is important to highlight that the sample studied was composed of hypertensive elderly individuals who were mostly sedentary, and therefore predisposed to a greater limitation of functional capacity, due to the severity of their cardiovascular condition, the effects of therapy and associated complications in the brain, heart and kidneys. A lifestyle change, involving the adoption of habits such as physical activity, is essential for the control and prevention of hypertension and cognitive decline, thereby increasing the individual´s quality of life.…”

“…Education levels have been reported as one of the most significant determinants of cognitive decline in several studies of the factors associated with this phenomenon. [6][7][8]10,11 Other factors have also been highlighted, such as gender, marital status, smoking and alcohol consumption. 12 Therefore, cognitive dysfunction is determined by a complex association of factors, including individual and social conditions, and can directly affect the quality of life of the elderly individual.…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between cognitive decline and quality of life in hypertensive elderly persons. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional, analytical study involving 125 hypertensive elderly individuals of both genders attending the HIPERDIA Program in São Luís, in the state of Maranhao, was performed. The Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) was used to evaluate cognitive decline and quality of life was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study 36 Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The normality of the data was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test. The Mann-Whitney test was also applied (quality of life). The association between cognitive decline and quality of life was evaluated using Spearman's coefficient. Results: The prevalence of cognitive decline was 20.8% and there was a predominance of elderly persons with a low educational level (45.83%). Hypertensive elderly individuals with cognitive decline had a poorer quality of life than those without cognitive decline. A positive association between cognitive function and quality of life was observed for the following domains: functional capacity (r=0.222; p=0.01), pain (r=0.1871; p=0.04), and emotional aspects (r=0.3136; p=0.0005). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that cognitive decline directly affects the quality of life of the elderly by limiting the capacity to perform activities of daily living, especially if associated with painful medical conditions and emotional disturbances.

“…A research that sought to describe sociodemographic, functional and clinical characteristics in elderly individuals with and without cognitive decline, living in an urban area of a city in Minas Gerais, identified an expressive percentage of hypertensive individuals with poor circulation (varicose veins), especially in those who presented with an absence of cognitive decline (17) . Another study regarding cognitive loss and health conditions in elderly individuals demonstrated that 5.2% of them, aged between 60 and 75 years, affirmed not having any diseases; 25.9% had one; 25.9% had two; 23% had three; 9.6% had four diseases; 59% had five; and finally 4.4% had six or more diseases (18) .…”

The objective of the present study was to identify the cognitive and health conditions of elderly participants in community center groups in a northern city in Rio Grande do Sul. The study is a descriptive cross-sectional research, performed with 85 elderly participants attending community center groups. Two instruments were used for data collection. One instrument gathered sociodemographic data and included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Descriptive statistics were used in data analysis. Results indicated a female predominance 79(92.9%), with 52 participants within the age bracket 60-69 years (61.2%); 46 were widowed (54.1%), 45 had four to seven years of formal education (52.9%) and 53 were living with companions (62.4%). Hypertension and varicose veins, in addition to fall events 34(40%) stood out among the diseases/conditions determined to affect participants in this study. The MMSE demonstrated that 20(23.6%) of the elderly people presented with cognitive decline. Results point out the need for guided interventions to maintain functional capacity and autonomy in the elderly.Descriptors: Aged. Cognition. Recreation and Leisure Activities Centers.

“…Individual demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, such as older age, female gender and low level of education 8,9,10 have a well-established association with cognitive decline. However, the influence of environmental socioeconomic factors on cognitive loss among the elderly population has not been so thoroughly investigated.…”

Is cognitive decline in the elderly associated with contextual income? Results of a population-based study in southern Brazil

et al. 2016

The aim of this study was to estimate the association between contextual income and cognitive decline in the elderly in Florianópolis, a medium-sized city in southern Brazil. A nested cross-sectional study was performed in a cohort of elderly ≥ 60 years (n = 1,197), interviewed in the second wave (2013/2014) of the EpiFloripa cohort. Cognitive decline was assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and contextual income was measured as the mean monthly income of the heads of households. Individual adjustment variables were sex, age, skin color, per capita household income, years of schooling, and time living in the neighborhood. The data were analyzed using multilevel logistic regression. The odds of cognitive decline were twice as high (OR = 1.99; 95%CI: 1.03; 3.87) in elderly living in census tracts with the lowest income quintile compared to those in the highest quintile, independently of individual characteristics. In conclusion, the socioeconomic environment is related to cognitive decline and should be considered in public policies with a focus on health of the elderly.
