Article Synopsis
- Age is a key risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, but studies in Mexico show varied prevalence due to differing methods and populations used.
- This systematic review analyzed 16 articles to estimate the prevalence of MCI and dementia in Mexican older adults, finding MCI at 18% and dementia at 10% overall.
- While the prevalence rates are similar to global data, they are higher than some Latin American countries, highlighting issues like insufficient research in southern Mexico and high rates of comorbidities.
