Etiketa erantsi | Gaia: | The present study aimed to characterize loneliness and cognitive impairment in the older adult population. Through a literature review with a cross-sectional design and descriptive level, a sample of 43 articles was published between 2014 and 2024, considering English and Spanish. The different selection criteria were applied together with the bibliographic search algorithm for filtering, and the information was extracted from different databases such as Scielo, Dialnet, Redalyc, Google Scholar, Elsevier, and Pubmed. The techniques of bibliographic review, documentary quality review, and instruments such as the CRF-QS matrix were used. Regarding the results, it was found that loneliness was related to an increased risk and progression of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and decline in specific domains such as memory, verbal fluency, and executive function. This bidirectional relationship was maintained even after controlling for some mediating factors such as depression, social isolation, and institutionalization. Likewise, sociodemographic predictors of loneliness and cognitive impairment were identified, including low educational levels, poor economic income, and marital status. It is concluded that there are several risk factors associated with loneliness and cognitive impairment: institutionalization, social isolation, follow-up time, a higher level of dependence on ADLs, and depression. As well as sociodemographic factors such as advanced age, socioeconomic level, level of education, unmarried marital status, widowhood, and chronic diseases. However, modifying these factors reduces the impact of loneliness and the progression of cognitive impairment. |
