AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how mild cognitive impairment (MCI), religiosity, and spirituality affect mortality rates in older adults, particularly in ethnic minority groups in mainland China.
- Results show that MCI is linked to a higher risk of death, while high levels of religiosity and spirituality can lessen this risk.
- The findings indicate that implementing community programs focused on religious and spiritual integration could potentially lower mortality rates for older adults with MCI in disadvantaged populations.
Article Abstract
The relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI), religiosity and/or spirituality (R/S), and all-cause mortality among older adults has yet to be clarified. The current study aims to examine this relationship using a longitudinal cohort from ethnic minority communities in mainland China. The Cox proportional hazards regression modeling revealed that MCI predicted an increased risk of all-cause mortality, and high R/S buffered this association. Those findings suggest that a religious-spiritual integrated community intervention program may reduce the mortality risk in older adults with MCI in ethnically disadvantaged populations.
