Abstract

The most common cognitive dysfunction in the elderly is due to the effect on changes in emotions and behavior and the disruption of the elderly in carrying out daily activities independently, such as fulfilling nutrition, body hygiene and others. This literature review involved databases including Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using the keywords cognitive ability and the elderly, which resulted in 10 relevant articles. Based on the results of the review, there are several factors that affect the cognitive abilities of the elderly, including age, gender, education, occupation, nutritional status, heredity, and comorbidities, especially those that damage the nervous system such as dementia and Alzheimer's. An excellent strategy to improve the cognitive abilities of the elderly is cognitive stimulation such as fun activities that stimulate thinking, attention, and memory.
