Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados con deterioro cognoscitivo y funcional sospechoso de demencia en adultos mayores residentes de Lima Metropolitana y Callao. Material y Métodos: Estudio analítico de base de datos secundario, realizado sobre un muestreo probabilístico de tres etapas en 1290 adultos de 60 a más años de edad. Resultados: El 17% de adultos mayores a quienes se administró el Mini-Mental Status Examination y el 14.7% mediante el Cuestionario de Pfeffer, presentaron deterioro cognitivo. Sin embargo, solo el 6.7% presentó deterioro cognitivo y funcional sospechoso de demencia. Según el modelo multivariado final, ser adulto mayor de 75 años a más (OR=7,80; p<0,001), estar desempleado (OR=6,88; p=0,026), tener menos de 8 años de educación (OR=2,97; p=0,003) y haber presentado un episodio depresivo en el último año (OR=5,58; p<0,001), son factores asociados con el deterioro cognoscitivo y funcional sospechoso de demencia. Las dimensiones de autocuidado (OR=0,59; p<0,001) y funcionamiento ocupacional (OR=0,73; p=0,001) de la escala de calidad de vida de Mezzich, son factores protectores contra el desarrollo de dicho deterioro. Conclusiones: La existencia de varios factores asociados con el deterioro cognoscitivo y funcional sospechoso de demencia, genera la necesidad de elaborar y aplicar programas preventivo-promocionales para lograr estilos de vida saludable, mejorar la condición educativa y promocionar posibilidades de empleo para adultos mayores.

With an aging workforce, the likelihood of persons applying for services with undiagnosed dementias or other substantial cognitive impairments are likely to increase. Identifying persons that may require additional evaluation prior to plan development will promote individual plans for employment that are consistent with individual needs. The focus of this article is to explain the benefits of incorporating the assessment of mental status into vocational evaluation systems. Specifically, the authors describe the benefits of using the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) in rehabilitation counseling and vocational evaluation. Suggestions as to how to incorporate this assessment instrument into rehabilitation services and the psychometric properties of the MMSE are reviewed.

Background Dual-task Timed “Up & Go” (TUG) tests are likely to have applications different from those of a single-task TUG test and may have different contributing factors. Objective The purpose of this study was to compare factors contributing to performance on single- and dual-task TUG tests. Design This investigation was a cross-sectional study. Methods Sixty-four adults who were more than 50 years of age and dwelled in the community were recruited. Interviews and physical examinations were performed to identify potential contributors to TUG test performance. The time to complete the single-task TUG test (TUGsingle) or the dual-task TUG test, which consisted of completing the TUG test while performing a serial subtraction task (TUGcognitive) or while carrying water (TUGmanual), was measured. Results Age, hip extensor strength, walking speed, general mental function, and Stroop scores for word and color were significantly associated with performance on all TUG tests. Hierarchical multiple regression models, without the input of walking speed, revealed different independent factors contributing to TUGsingle performance (Mini-Mental Status Examination score, β=−0.32), TUGmanual performance (age, β=0.35), and TUGcognitive performance (Stroop word score, β=−0.40; Mini-Mental Status Examination score, β=−0.31). Limitations At least 40% of the variance in the performance on the 3 TUG tests was not explained by common clinical measures, even when the factor of walking speed was considered. However, this study successfully identified some important factors contributing to performance on different TUG tests, and other studies have reported similar findings for single-task TUG test and dual-task gait performance. Conclusions Although the TUGsingle and the TUGcognitive shared general mental function as a common factor, the TUGmanual was uniquely influenced by age and the TUGcognitive was uniquely influenced by focused attention. These results suggest that both common and unique factors contribute to performance on single- and dual-task TUG tests and suggest important applications of the combined use of the 3 TUG tests.
