Abstract

Objectives: this study aims to investigate the association of global cognitive with chronic conditions, physical impairment, olfactory function, socio-demographics and other factors among older adults in the urban community, West Jakarta. 

Materials and methods: the cross-sectional study involved 334 older adults aged 60 years and older who resided in urban community Jakarta, Indonesia. Trained interviewers visited and evaluated the respondents in the sub-district office. Cognitive function is examined using Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Indonesian Version (MoCA-INA). Respondents were clinically examined using a standardized protocol, which included medical history, general physical examination, cognitive assessment, and blood test for diabetes. 

Results: global cognitive impairment was significantly associated with being female (adjusted odd ratio [AOR]: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.14–3.50) and low education (AOR: 4.79, 95% CI: 2.80–8.18). Moreover diabetes, impaired balance, and olfactory dysfunction have AOR:3.23 (95% CI: 1.39–7.51), 2.55% (95% CI: 1.07–6.07), and 2.26 (95% CI: 1.32–3.85) respectively.
