Prediction of dementia risk by instrumental activities of daily living limitations and its impact on dementia onset in combination with mild cognitive impairment: a population-based longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) limitations are important risk factors for dementia. IADL is lifestyle-based, therefore, its assessment content must be updated to reflect recent lifestyle changes. We evaluated the predictive validity of the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology Activities of Daily Living (NCGG-ADL), an IADL scale we previously developed, to identify dementia risk and the combined impact of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and IADL limitations on dementia onset.

Methods

This population-based longitudinal study included 2,118 adults aged ≥ 65 years without dementia at baseline. At baseline, IADL limitations and MCI were assessed using the NCGG-ADL and a multi-domain neuropsychological test, respectively. The participants were
