ABSTRACT

This study aims to identify major determinants of cognitive impairment among older adults with disabilities in Korea by analyzing national health screening data. Using 195,337 individuals aged 66 or older who responded to cognitive-related survey items, descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression analyses were conducted. The results showed significant differences in cognitive impairment according to age, income, area type, medical aid status, health history, smoking, drinking, and genign breast disease. Regression analysis revealed that age, medical-aid coverage, previous disease history, alcohol consumption, and the presence of benign breast disease were major predictors. Severe disability groups demonstrated higher vulnerability to cognitive decline, emphasizing the influence of structural factors rather than individual health behaviors. These findings suggest the need for tailored digital health-management systems and AI-based early screening tools for disabled older adults.
