Item Reserva cognitiva y deterioro cognitivo leve en adultos mayores de bajo estatus socioeconómico de la ciudad de Cali(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Palacios Romero, Angie Gabriela; Martínez, Juan FelipeThe study set out to analyse differences in cognitive reserve between older adults with and without Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) of low socioeconomic status in the city of Cali, Colombia. It was hypothesised that participants with MCI would show lower levels of cognitive reserve compared to those without MCI. A quantitative approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 94 older adults was recruited, divided into two groups: 52 with MCI and 42 without MCI. Neuropsychological instruments validated in Colombia were applied, such as the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination IV (ACE-R), CRIq Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire (IRC), etc. Statistical analysis was carried out using inferential methods to explore the relationships between the study variables. The results revealed that the total score on the CRIq scale is significantly lower in the MCI group compared to the non-MCI group (With MCI M=80.84(17.34) and without MCI M= 96.64(22.38), respectively; t=3.85 p < 0.001), indicating that participants with MCI have lower global cognitive reserve compared to those without MCI. Statistically significant differences were found in the areas of education, work and leisure, where participants with MCI scored lower on the CRIq Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire. No significant differences in depression and functioning variables were identified between the groups. The results indicate that participants with MCI consistently showed lower levels 3 of cognitive reserve compared to those without MCI, which may have important implications for understanding and addressing MCI.
