2.5 (2.0 to 3.1), and for subjects with a severe cognitive impairment (score 0-18 points, n = 180) the risk was 2.8 (2.3 to 3.4).The association of scores in the mini-mental state examination and mortality is further illustrated in the figure representing the survival probabilities of subjects, calculated from the age of 86 years onwards.
