Abstract
A differential research design to know the effects of age, gender and socio-economic status on cognitive impairment among 240 elderly revealed that female elderly of urban Northern Karnataka were in higher percentages in middle stage of impairment. Age of the elderly was highly and significantly associated with cognitive impairment where in young old (60-74 years) performed better than older elderly (75-110 years) in Northern Karnataka and Upper Assam. Elderly of higher socio-economic status of Upper Assam were significantly better than lower socio-economic status. Mini-Mental State Examination developed by Flostein and Flostein (1975) and Aggarwal et al. (2005) socio-economic status scale were used.
对240名老年人进行了年龄、性别和社会经济地位对认知障碍影响的差异研究，结果表明，卡纳塔克邦北部城市女性老年人处于认知障碍中期的比例较高。在卡纳塔克邦北部和上阿萨姆邦，老年人的年龄与认知障碍高度显著相关，其中年轻老年人(60-74岁)的表现优于老年老年人(75-110岁)。上阿萨姆邦社会经济地位较高的老年人明显好于社会经济地位较低的老年人。使用Flostein和Flostein(1975)和Aggarwal等人(2005)开发的迷你精神状态检查量表(Mini-Mental State Examination)和社会经济地位量表。
