Cognitive Impairment and Its Associated Comorbidities in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
The proportion of cognitive impairment identified by AD8 in this AI/AN volunteer sample is high, especially among those aged 45-60. Some associations between comorbidities and cognitive function differ by age groups. Early screening of cognitive impairment with convenient tools like AD8 questionnaires in middle-age AI/AN adults is suggested, especially among those with head injury or alcohol use disorder.
