Health-Related Quality of Life and Future Risk of Cognitive Decline and Dementia

What is it about?

Our longitudinal study is one of the first studies investigating the association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cognitive decline and dementia in a large community sample of relatively healthy older people initially free of dementia.

Why is it important?

This study provides some of the first evidence that a higher HRQoL predicted a lower risk of cognitive decline, and a higher mental HRQoL, but not physical HRQoL predicted a lower risk of dementia over the 4.7-year median follow-up period.
