ObjectiveTo explore the status of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among the elderly in Shanghai communities, and to identify the factors associated with MCI. MethodsThe Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-B) was used to screen for MCI in elderly adults. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors associated with MCI. ResultsAmong 629 participants, 226 (35.90%) were positive for MCI. Older age (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 1.01-1.07), lower family income (average OR=2.20, 95%CI: 1.01-4.80; poor OR=2.59, 95%CI: 1.03-6.50), hearing impairment affecting daily life (OR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.19-2.91), and anxiety symptoms (OR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.02-2.44) were associated with the positive for MCI. Living in central urban area (OR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.37-0.89) and having higher social support (OR=0.97, 95%CI: 0.94-1.00) were protective factors for MCI. ConclusionThe current status of MCI among the elderly in Shanghai communities is not optimistic. It is important and necessary to establish the cognitive-friendly community for the elderly.
