Population-level trends in self-reported healthcare utilization among older adults in Mexico with and without cognitive impairment.

Background: Older adults with cognitive impairment exhibit different patterns of healthcare utilization compared to their cognitively healthy counterparts. Despite extensive research in high-income countries, similar studies in low- and middle-income countries are lacking. This study aims to investigate the population-level patterns in healthcare utilization among older adults with and without cognitive impairment in Mexico.

Cognitive life expectancy by educational attainment in Mexican adults aged 60 and older.

Objective: To estimate cognitively healthy life expectancy (CHLE), cognitive impairment life expectancy (CILE), and dementia life expectancy (DLE) in Mexican adults aged 60 and older stratified by educational attainment.

Materials And Methods: The data were obtained from Waves 1 (2001) to 5 (2018) of the Mexican Health and Aging Study. The life expectancy was estimated using a multistate life table analysis.

Differences in the Cognitive Function of Mexican Adults Aged 60 and Older with Self-Reported Diabetes in 2001 and 2018.

Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Mexico has nearly doubled for adults aged ≥60. Increases in education and healthcare resources to manage chronic conditions have contributed to population-level increases in the cognitive functioning of older adults. However, research has not focused on older adults with chronic conditions such as diabetes.

Transitions of disability, disability-free life expectancy and health insurance among adults aged 50 and older in Mexico: a multistate life table analysis.

Objectives: To analyse the transitions of disability onset and recovery, estimate life expectancy (LE) with and without disability and explore the relation between insurance and disability patterns in the population aged 50+ in Mexico.

Design: Multistate life table analysis of data from a longitudinal cohort survey.

Setting: Data came from the Mexican Health and Aging Study, a longitudinal and representative survey of older adults in Mexico.

[Transitions of disability according to health insurance enrollment among older adults in Mexico].

Objective: To study the transitions of disability according to health insurance in the population of adults over 50 in Mexico, as well as the set of socioeconomic and health variables associated with these transitions.

Materials And Methods: Data comes from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). Twenty regression models were fitted for the transitions of disability measured through activities of daily living in the period 2012-15, using socioeconomic and health as explanatory variables.
