The association between arthritis and cognitive function impairment in the older adults: Based on the NHANES 2011-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Arthritis has been postulated as a prevalent potential risk factor for the emergence of dementia and cognitive impairment. This conjecture prompted an examination of the correlation between arthritis and cognitive impairment using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) repository. The analysis was meticulously adjusted for potential confounders such as age and assorted systemic comorbidities, to ensure robustness in the results obtained.

Methods

Among 2,398 adults aged 60 years and above, logistic regression and cubic spline models were employed to elucidate the relationship between arthritis and cognitive performance. This was assessed utilizing tests such as Immediate Recall test (IRT), Delayed Recall test (DRT), Animal Fluency Test (AFT),
