Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment/Dementia and Associated Risks Factors Among Community-Dwelling Elderly People Aged 65 or Above in the Community Centers in Hong Kong: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundsDementia is a leading cause of morbidity and disability for elderly people worldwide, and prevalence rates of dementia are estimated to be 30% among people ≥80 years old. The burden of the disease could reach 11% of population aged over 60 in 2039.
objectivesThe study aims to report the prevalence rate of cognitive impairment/dementia among community-dwelling elderly people aged ≥65 years old and identify the associated risk factors for dementia prevention.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used non-probability sampling technique. Participants 65 years old were interviewed using a structured questionnaire, and the Cantonese version of Mini-Mental State Examination was used to screen for cognitive impairment/dementia. CMMSE score of ≤20 was the cut-off points. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to examine risk factors associated with cognitive impairment/dementia.
resultsFrom 241 respondents, the study reported the overall prevalence of cognitive impairment/dementia was 18.9%, ranging between 13% and 33% in different age groups. Depression and those who belonged to lower socioeconomic status receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance were found to be significant risk factors for cognitive impairment/dementia.
conclusionThe study showed higher overall prevalence of cognitive impairment/dementia in the community centers than previous studies and potentially high percentage of elderly with undetected dementia in the community. The finding highlighted the importance of increasing dementia literacy, strengthening health promotion for population-wide screening with follow-up diagnosis to enable early detection and subsequent interventions and treatments to improve the quality of dementia care for elderly in Hong Kong.
