Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment is a change in cognition between the attrition of normal aging and dementia. The diagnosis of Mild cognitive impairment used a medical history, the assessment of routine ability, and the evaluation of cognition, which was necessary to use the high sensitivity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, but this assessment is complicated to use and needs skill, so there was the limitation to use in the context of Primary care. This cross-sectional study aimed to study the factors Relevant to Mild Cognitive Impairment of older people by the ratio.

This Cross-sectional descriptive study studied older people who were more than 60 years old and lived in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. The samples were randomly selected from people who came to the family practice center using simple random sampling  yielding 262 people. Research instruments were consisted of Thai Geriatric Depression Scale, Thai Mental State Examination, Thai Activities of daily living, and Thai Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, and analysis of differences was done using Pearson’s chi-squares, t-tests, and multiple logistic regressions.

Results from 262 samples showed that there were 112 males and 150 females, with 66.39+4.86 average years of age. Significant related factors included age, education, DM disease, COVID-19 infected disease, smoking habit, and unusual exercise. The screening of mild cognitive impairment in primary care could consider older people who have the mentioned characteristics because a relationship was found with mild cognitive impairment in older people.
