| description | <p><strong>Foundation:</strong> As the number of older adults aged 60 years and older increases, there is an urgent need to look for alternatives to reduce the incidence of amnestic mild cognitive impairment. A promising means that has been showing results is the use of the Internet and the use of online applications.<br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to identify the association between the use of online applications and amnestic mild cognitive impairment in older adults. <strong><br />Methods:</strong> analytical observational study, case-control type, carried out in family doctor's office number 1, at the Ramón López Peña Teaching Polyclinic health area, Santiago de Cuba province, from July to December 2023. The studied population were 182 older adults, 60 years or older (45 cases and 135 controls). The association was studied with the following variables: age, sex, level of education, online applications used and frequency of use.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> 64.4% of the patients were between 70 and 79 years old. Female was the predominant sex, with 57.8%. Secondary education had a percentage of 53.3%. Very frequent use of online applications was shown in only 17.8% of the cases. Facebook was the most used application by 84.4%.<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> A protective association was identified between online applications and amnestic mild cognitive impairment in older adults.</p> |
