Risk factors for mild cognitive impairment among older adults in a hospital in southern Nigeria.

Background: About 63% of people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Emerging evidence suggests that early risk factors for the development of MCI and dementia can be modified by public health and preventive intervention approaches.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of MCI in older adult patients and its relationship with some risk factors.
