Household fuel use and motoric cognitive risk syndrome among older adults: Evidence from cohort study and life course analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS) is a predementia syndrome, and its prevention is valuable for reducing the incidence of dementia. However, few studies have focused on the association between indoor air pollution caused by household cooking fuel use and MCRS. This study aimed to investigate whether clean cooking fuel use is associated with reduced MCRS risk and whether the timing of clean fuel adoption across the life span is associated with MCRS prevalence.

Methods

We used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A prospective cohort analysis (n = 4251) examined baseline fuel use (2011) and incident MCRS over four years. A cross-sectional life course analysis (n = 6964) linked retrospective fuel use histories (2014 life history survey)
