“…Além disso, o aumento da escolaridade estaria relacionado à maior resistência e flexibilidade ao cérebro contra patologias e alterações neuronais próprias do envelhecimento 28,29 . A escolarização realizada desde infância até a fase adulta leva o indivíduo a se sobrepor ao conhecimento básico, partindo para a diversificação de atividades e intelectualização, melhorando o seu desempenho em testes de habilidades cognitivas durante a velhice, revelando-se como caráter protetor da cognição 30 . A escolarização atua na aceleração da velocidade de processamento do raciocínio, atenção, inteligência, funções executivas e memória, retardando a perda cognitiva global e melhorando o desempenho dos idosos nos testes cognitivos 27 .…”

rESUMo objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao declínio cognitivo em idosos com baixa condição econômica. Métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra constituída de 310 idosos residentes no município de Ibicuí/BA. Foi utilizado o Miniexame do Estado Mental para a avaliação do estado cognitivo global. Para a avaliação das variáveis categóricas e análise simultânea, foram utilizados o teste qui-quadrado χ 2 e a análise de regressão logística múltipla. A análise estatística foi realizada com nível de significância p ≤ 0,05, cálculo da razão de chances e intervalos de confiança de 95%. resultados: A prevalência global do declínio cognitivo foi de 18,7%. A análise dos dados revelou que as variáveis faixa etária e escolaridade estavam estatisticamente associadas ao maior comprometimento cognitivo entre idosos (p ≤ 0,05). Conclusão: A prevalência de declínio cognitivo observada foi elevada e associou-se a maior faixa etária e menos anos de estudo. Nesse sentido, as ações direcionadas a atenção à saúde do idoso devem fortalecer o cuidado, a prevenção e o controle das perdas cognitivas, principalmente na atenção primária. abStraCt objective: To evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with cognitive decline in the elderly with low economic status. Methods: Cross-sectional study sample of 310 elderly residents in the city of Ibicuí/BA. We used the Mini-Mental State Examination for the assessment of global cognitive status. For the evaluation of categorical variables and simultaneous analysis was performed using chi-square test χ 2 and multiple logistic regression analysis with exploratory purposes, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed with significance level of p = 0.05, calculating the odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. results: The overall prevalence of cognitive decline was 18.7%. Data analysis revealed that the variables age and education were statistically associated with greater cognitive impairment among the elderly (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of cognitive decline observed was high and was associated with older age and with fewer years of schooling. In this sense, the actions directed to health care for the elderly should strengthen the care prevention and control of cognitive losses, particularly in primary care.

This study aimed to understand the relationship between marital forgiveness and human values and to discover the latter's power to predict whether a marriage will recover. The study included 313 participants who were married or in a long-term relationship, 70% from the state of Paraíba and 30% from the state of Piauí. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 70 years (M = 35.0; SD = 11.41), the majority being female (67.7%). The participants answered three questionnaires: the Marital OffenceSpecifi c Forgiveness Scale, the Basic Values Questionnaire, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Two stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. The fi rst, which took the value subfunctions as the predictive variables, found that the interactive subfunction explains marital forgiveness, directly contributing to the explanation of whether forgiveness is granted between couples. The second analysis took the type of orientation as explanatory variables. It found that social values directly contribute to explaining whether the marriage recovers. In light of these results, one may conclude that individuals who prioritize social values are more disposed to grant forgiveness within a marriage.

As people age, cognitive abilities may decline resulting in serious disabilities. Neuropsychological instruments can provide information on the cognitive state of older adults. Researchers worldwide have been using digital cognitive tests to assess cognitive domains.ObjectiveTo determine whether educational status affects the performance of older adults on digital cognitive tasks.MethodsA systematic review of articles in English, Portuguese, or Spanish published in the last 5 years was conducted. The databases searched were SCOPUS, PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo and PsychInfo. The PRISMA method was used.ResultsA total of 7,089 articles were initially retrieved. After search and exclusion with justification, seven articles were selected for further review.ConclusionThe findings revealed that researchers using digital tasks generally employed paper-based tests to compare results. Also, no association between years of education and test performance was found. Finally, a dearth of studies using digital tests published by Brazilian researchers was evident.
