Population aging worldwide has led to an increase in the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, presenting itself as a challenge for health teams. The objective of this work is to analyze scientific evidence related to the prevention of cognitive impairment and dementias, nationally and internationally, in older people.
Method:
Review of available scientific evidence.
Results:
15 articles were selected, of those 1 is national, where made review of the protective and risk factors for the presentation of dementias in older people is made. The other 14 studies are international, 7 are experimental studies where a program of activities in the community that were positive for cognitive performance is applied to the study subjects. The other 7 studies are observational where protective factors for the prevention of dementia are analyzed.
Conclusion:
The risk factors for the presentation of mild cognitive impairment and dementias are similar to other chronic non-communicable diseases, the work on protective factors, would improve cognitive performance and delay the advance of dementias in the initial stages. Long-term and local studies are required to observe the national reality.
