- Older adults, especially those aged 80 and above, face a growing risk of cognitive impairment, which this study aimed to assess in community-dwelling seniors.
- The research involved 165 participants who were interviewed using health and demographic questionnaires, with results indicating that 35.2% exhibited poor cognitive performance as measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
- Key factors associated with cognitive impairment included body mass index (BMI), income level, functional disability, and anxiety, although the study has limitations like its cross-sectional nature and a small sample size.
