Key result
A combined healthy lifestyle score was not significantly associated with the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in an elderly Chinese population (OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.90-2.98).
Why the study?
Evidence was scarce regarding the combined lifestyle effect on mild cognitive impairment, a predementia syndrome.
Does a higher combined healthy lifestyle score reduce the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in elderly Chinese adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=2,213)
No
Does a higher combined healthy lifestyle score reduce the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in elderly Chinese adults?
Odds Ratio: 1.64 (95% CI 0.9–2.98)

A combined healthy lifestyle score was not associated with a lower prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in an urban elderly Chinese population.
Combined lifestyle score may link to lower MCI risk; hypothesis-generating and needs longitudinal confirmation before practice implications.
There was scarce evidence about the combined lifestyle effect on mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a predementia syndrome. We aimed to investigate the relationship between a combined healthy lifestyle score, including five modifiable lifestyle factors and MCI in the elderly Chinese population.

Jiali Zheng (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Mild Cognitive Impairment (n=2,213). Combined healthy lifestyle score vs. Least healthy lifestyle score (1-2 points) was evaluated on Mild cognitive impairment (OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.90-2.98, p=0.11). A combined healthy lifestyle score was not significantly associated with the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in an elderly Chinese population (OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.90-2.98).
