Association Between Cognitive Impairment and Mortality Risk in the elderly: A Longitudinal Study and Meta‐Analysis of four Latin American Cohorts

Abstract

Background: Cognitive impairment (CI) is considered a risk factor for premature mortality. However, it has not been extensively studied in Latin American populations (LATAM). We investigated the association between CI and all‐cause mortality in four LATAM cohorts from Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
