Samy AL, et al. - Among older people attending primary care clinics, researchers determined the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as well as its predictors of quality of life (QOL) in this cross-sectional study that was conducted at two primary care clinics in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A total of 271 participants were included in this analysis, from whom data on sociodemographic, medical condition and lifestyle behaviors were analyzed. Among these subjects, MCI prevalence was 27.3%. Depression in the physical domain, age and stroke in the psychological domain, presence of other types of disorders in the social domain, and diabetes and stroke in the environmental domain were identified as predictors of QOL. Poorer QOL in all domains of QOL was observed in relation to MCI.
