Abstract
Background: Early identification and management of modifiable risk factors for neurocognitive disorders is becoming more important to slow progression of the disease, which would be very beneficial for both the patient and the caregiver. Aim: Assessing risk factors for mild and major neurocognitive disorders among a sample of elderly population in Suez Canal Area. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional comparative analytical study was conducted on a sample of 156 elderly people ≥60 years old in Suez Canal Area over the period from March 2022 to February 2023. Study tools included a semi-structured clinical interview to assess sociodemographic, medical and lifestyle risk factors, DSM-5 criteria to diagnose mild and major neurocognitive disorders, The Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale to assess cognitive function, and The Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire to assess functional impairment and dependency. Results: Mild and major neurocognitive disorders have multiple sociodemographic, medical and lifestyle risk factors, including: aging, lower education, female gender, non-married status, unemployment and physical work, lower income, less physical, cognitive and social activities, increased number of chronic diseases and family history of cognitive impairment. Conclusion: Multiple modifiable risk factors for mild and major neurocognitive disorders could be identified, and their management may contribute to lowering burden of neurocognitive disorders.
