“…The present study aimed to find the risk factors for MCI among both diabetics and non-diabetics. In accordance to other studies [21], [22], and [23], the prevalence of MCI among both groups increased significantly with age with p < 0.01 and by making a logistic regression analysis, old age (above 50) was a significant predicting factor for MCI among diabetics, p < 0.001. In the current study, the prevalence of MCI among diabetic males was higher compared to diabetic females, p > 0.05, while 2.4% of non-diabetic males and 13.8% of non-diabetic females had MCI with p > 0.05.…”

“…Among diabetics hypertensive Chen et al (2012) denoted as well that the percent of hypertension among diabetics with MCI was 58.1% compared to 40.6% among nonhypertensive diabetics (p < 0.05) [29]. Amer et al (2012) stated that the presence of hypertension significantly associated with MCI (39.1%) compared to 19.4% among non-hypertensive with MCI patients with p < 0.05 [22]. The current study showed that the rate of MCI among diabetics and non-diabetics with history of heart diseases was 43.7% and 12.5%, respectively, compared to 17.9% and 8.3% among those with no heart problems, respectively, (p > 0.05).…”

BACKGROUND: Type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM) has been associated with structural and functional changes in the brain. TIIDM is commonly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, all of which can have negative impact on brain. AIM: The aim of the study was to study the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among both diabetics and non-diabetics and to identify risk factors to MCI among both groups. METHODS: Two comparative cross-sectional studies were carried out enrolling 100 diabetics and 100 age, sex, and education matching non-diabetics. Cognitive function was assessed using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test and risk factors for MCI were assessed. RESULTS: The subjective complaint of memory impairment among diabetics was significantly higher (34%) compared to non-diabetics (13.0%), p < 0.05. The mean of objective MoCA score was significantly lower among diabetics (25.9 ± 2.5) compared to non-diabetics (27.4 ± 2.4), p < 0.001. The rate of MCI was significantly higher among TIIDM patients (22%) compared to non-diabetics (9%), p < 0.01 and odds ratio (OR) 2.8 (95% confidence interval 1.2–6.5). Among the two studied groups, the rate of MCI was significantly higher among those aged over 50 years compared to younger age as well as among hypertensive compared to non-hypertensive persons, (p < 0.05). Among diabetics, the MCI was significantly higher among those with secondary education, having heart diseases, longer duration of DM, or repeated hypoglycemia attack, p < 0.05. A healthy diet, brain training, and social activities were found to be significantly associated with normal cognition. Logistic analysis revealed that diabetics aged above 50 was the only significant predicting factor for MCI with an OR 2.9 (95% CI: 3.8–123.3), p < 0.001. CONCLUSION: TIIDM is significantly associated with 3-times increasing risk of having MCI compared to non-diabetics. The age, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, duration of diabetes, and frequency of hypoglycemic episodes are risk factors for cognitive impairment. A healthy diet, brain training, and social activities were associated with better cognitive function.

“…This correlated with the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging which stated that the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment increases with age. 34 Also, a number of prospective population based studies estimate the prevalence among older adults (>70 years) to be between 14 and 18 percentage 35 .Moreover, the same correlation between MCI and age is indicated in another 3 studies in et al Egypt 30,36,37. Although some studies indicated higher prevalence in Regarding the functional status of MCI participants; this study indicates that there is no significant difference between those with MCI and those with normal cognitive function in ADL (P =0.564). The fact that individuals with MCI have preserved ADL correlated with the diagnostic criteria of MCI 32 .…”

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI, also known as incipient dementia, or isolated memory impairment) is a brain function syndrome involving the onset and evolution of cognitive impairments beyond those expected based on the age education of the individual, but which are not significant enough to interfere with their daily activities 1. The concept of mild cognitive impairment was aimed to fill the gap between normal and dementia-type pathological ageing 2. Also, the MCI concept assumes that a cognitive continuum exists amongst normality and Alzheimer's disease, the main cause of dementia 3. The MCI criteria, as defined by Petersen et al., include the following: Absence of dementia, memory problem, objective memory disorder, Normal general cognitive function, and Absence of other cognitive disorders or repercussions on daily life 4. The initial diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment specified generally intact everyday functioning 1. The Functional abilities allude to a scope of self-initiated, multidimensional, everyday skills and

“…Currently, there are no registered studies that have investigated all mental disorders among the older adult population aged ≥60 years using the International Classification of Disease code 10, chapter 5 (F code) for mental and behavioral disorders in a single study. Some studies have estimated the prevalence of some mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, mixed anxiety and depressive disorders, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia [18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…Generally, it is reported that sociodemographic factors such as gender, educational status, employment status, and living arrangement strongly correlate with mental disorders in Egypt. It has been reported that being female, being unemployed, having little or no education, and living alone are associated with mental disorders among older adults (≥60 years) [18][19][20][21][22].…”

BACKGROUND In Egypt, the population of the elderly is fast growing. The 2006 census estimated the 60 years and above elderly population as 7.2% and it is forecasted to rise to 10.9% in 2016. There is growing evidence that older population are more at risk of some forms of mental illnesses such as depression, dementia and many more. Therefore, this study aims to review current evidence of the prevalence of mental illnesses amongst the elderly populace in Egypt. This will be achieved by estimating the current prevalence and then identifying any sociodemographic factors that correlates with mental illnesses. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to systematically review current studies that examine mental illnesses amongst the elderly populace in Egypt. METHODS Electronic search of five key databases (MEDLINE, PsychINFO, EMBASE, AMED and PUBMED) will be carried out from their date of inception. In addition, reference list scanning, key journal searching, citation searching and relevant internet resources will be conducted. Studies will be included, if they were published in English, prevalence or cross-sectional studies carried out on adults Egyptians aged 60 and above and a validated diagnostic tool was used to ascertain mental illness. Studies which did not meet any of the criteria detailed above will be excluded. RESULTS This systematic review was started in November, 2017. The literature search from the five databases revealed 343 papers. After screening titles and abstract and carrying out citation scanning, reference list scanning and internet source search a total of 38 full articles were accessed and after matching it with the eligibility criteria 16 studies were included in this study. We are currently in the process of data extraction and synthesis CONCLUSIONS This research will help bring to the forefront the scale of mental health illnesses amongst the elderly in Egypt. This may help ensure evidence-based initiatives are put in place and also priority is given to resource allocation for geriatric mental health in Egypt CLINICALTRIAL PROSPERO CRD42018114831
