Understanding Cognitive Decline in Armenia’s Aging Population: A Nationwide Screening Study

CI presents an emerging problem in developing countries, like Armenia, and requires engagement with the Ministry of Health and local stakeholders to provide culturally tailored preventive care. Establishing a national brain health registry in Armenia is vital to guide research efforts, design tailored interventions, structure public health planning, and contribute to global brain health knowledge. Future research should explore the contribution of individual risk factors to CI in the Armenian population, such as a potential genetic predisposition to hearing loss.
