Abstract

PROBLEM: Sedentary lifestyle and/or low physical activity is related to cases of mild cognitive impairment in adults, not associated with age. OBJECTIVE: to determine the relationship between mild cognitive impairment and sedentary lifestyle in adults, relatives of geriatric patients with diagnosed cognitive impairment. METHOD: relatives of geriatric patients with diagnosed cognitive impairment, aged between 30-60 years, were selected, applying the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to measure physical activity and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to identify mild cognitive impairment. RESULTS: no significant relationship was found between low physical activity and the appearance of mild cognitive impairment. CONCLUSION: it is concluded that there is no significant relationship between cognitive impairment and low physical activity, but there are warning signs for the population between 40-60 years of age in whom mild cognitive impairment was found, especially in the domain of memory, verbal fluency, calculation and visuospatial abilities, which could be associated with low schooling.
