Abstract

Objective: to analyze the prevalence of cognitive decline (CD) preventive practices among the elderly population and the associated socio-demographic and health factors. Methodology: a cross-sectional, analytical study, conducted with 557 older people assisted at family health units in the city of Tangará da Serra-MT. Data were obtained through interviews, using an instrument containing sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions and CD preventive practices performed by the older people and applying the abbreviated geriatric depression scale and the Barthel index. Bivariate analysis was performed between the independent variables and CD preventive practices to verify association (p <0.05) using Pearson's x2 test. Variables with an association with p <0.20 were selected for
entry into the Poisson multiple regression model by the stepwise forward method. Results: the prevalence of CD preventive practices was 55.1%. An association was found between CD preventive practices and the variables education (p<0.001), occupational status (p <0.001), functional capacity (p = 0.017), gender (p <0.001) and self-rated health (p = 0.028). Conclusion: preventive practices of
CD were performed in most participants and were not previously documented in other studies. Female, functionally independent, highly educated elderly women
who are working and self-rated their health as regular performed more CD preventive practices. These results are important since they show the characteristics of this population that should be taken into consideration when planning actions to promote cognitive health.
