A prediction model of cognitive impairment risk in elderly illiterate Chinese women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To establish and validate a targeted model for the prediction of cognitive impairment in elderly illiterate Chinese women.

Methods

1864 participants in the 2011-2014 cohort and 1,060 participants in the 2014-2018 cohort from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) were included in this study. The Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to measure cognitive function. Demographics and lifestyle information were collected to construct a risk prediction model by a restricted cubic spline Cox regression. The discrimination and accuracy of the model were assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) and the concordance index, respectively.

Results

A total of seven critical variables were included in the final prediction
