Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Among Older Residents of Publicly Subsidized Housing in the United States: Systematic-Review and Meta-Analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes evidence on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) prevalence among older U.S. residents of publicly subsidized housing. Databases searched included PsychInfo, PubMed, MEDLINE, and CINAHL. Ten observational studies were analyzed. The pooled prevalence was 25.5% (95% CI: [22.0-29.1]) for MCI with low heterogeneity, and 13.5% (95% CI: [10.6-16.4]) for ADRD with significant heterogeneity (I² = 85.6%, <i>p</i> < .001). Findings highlight the need for more accurate screening methods to facilitate timely identification of cognitive impairments among this population.
