Abstract

As the global population ages, the prevalence of cognitive impairment among older individuals has been steadily rising. Egypt, like many countries, is grappling with the challenges posed by an aging demographic. Cognitive impairment not only affects the quality of life of older adults but also imposes significant burdens on healthcare systems and societies as a whole. This paper presents findings from the pilot phase of the Longitudinal Study of Egyptian Healthy Aging, known as “AL-SEHA,” shedding light on the intricate relationship between cognitive impairment and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Egypt’s aging population. KEY MESSAGES The increasing prevalence of cognitive impairment among the aging population creates a need for a comprehensive understanding of its implications on the individuals’ quality of life A significant association between cognitive impairment and non-communicable diseases exists and further research can help in the strategic allocation of resources for designing the most effective interventions
