Older adults living with cognitive and mobility-related limitations: social deprivation and forms of care received
Résumé
Limitations in cognitive functioning in older adults are often related to dementia or similar conditions and may serve as a predictor in the absence of a clinical diagnosis.
Social deprivation is significantly associated with cognitive and mobility related limitations.
Cognitive and mobility-related limitations in older adults are both associated with the use of formal and informal help at home.
Living alone is more unlikely for older people with severe cognitive limitations or dementia but not for those with mobility-related limitations.
It is suggested to systematically examine the social environment of older adults who show early symptoms of cognitive impairment since they may be at risk of social deprivation.
