Cognitive impairment in old people living in the community
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 10/19/09

Cognitive impairment was found to be predicted by gender, age and psychological distress, explaining 18% of variance. Findings are discussed considering available literature and possible interventions for community residents.
