Abstract

Identifying individuals at high risk of cognitive impairment is essential for treatment and prevention strategies. We aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for evaluating the risk of cognitive impairment. Data were from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). A total of 14,265 subjects were selected for model development. The area under the curve(AUC) for the training, internal, and external validation sets were 0.775, 0.920, and 0.727, respectively. This model could be used to identify middle-aged and older adults aged 45 years and older at high risk of cognitive impairment.
