Social inclusion and mild cognitive impairment: a scoping review of barriers, facilitators, and conceptual gaps

Promoting inclusive practices through digital literacy, participatory care, and supportive environments may reduce social exclusion and help delay cognitive decline. Future research should clarify conceptual definitions and develop consistent tools to assess social inclusion in this population.
