Disability and cognitive impairment in the elderly

Barberger-Gateau, Pascale, Fabrigoule, Colette·1997·Disability and Rehabilitation

Abstract

Disability and cognitive impairment show similar patterns of increasing frequency with ageing. A review of the published literature shows that there is a cross-sectional relationship between cognitive impairment and disability, independent of demographic, medical, and lifestyle factors. Some instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) items appear more specifically related to cognitive impairment, but cognition and functional impairment are distinct concepts requiring separate assessments. Subjects with low cognitive performances are at higher risk of functional impairment in the following years. Cognitive impairment as well as disability increase the risk of death and institutionalization. Preventive strategies could be directed against the risk factors of cognitive impairment and disability, and would aim to delay the onset of dementia. Prevention of disability associated with cognitive impairment needs further assessment in elderly community-dwellers. Further research is needed to better identify the specific areas cognition involved in the disablement process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
