    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2018-12-01) Bonilla Romero, Diana Carolina; García Ramos, Diana Carolina MSc
    The present study was a no experimental, cross- sectional investigation of descriptive and correlational type which objective was to determine the relation between cognitive impairment (C.I) and socio-demographic factors in retired seniors of the Retired Pensioners and Military Retirees Association in Salcedo Canton- Ecuador, with a sample of 27 older adults, aged 60- 85. They were evaluated by the Minimental State Exam and a socio-demographic record. The research was of a descriptive and correlation type, where it was concluded that 7.41% have moderate C.I, 44.44% have mild C.I and 48.15% don´t have C.I. After that, the Spearman Correlation concluded that the cognitive impairment does not have a relation with socio- demographic factors. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out workshops to strengthen the different cognitive areas. In other words, it should take into account that the greater the neuronal plasticity, the less cognitive impairment.
