Results: 68% of participants were independent, 32% required assistance, and no participants were dependent for physical activities. On the other hand, 92% were independent in personal appearance, while 35% required assistance to move within their environment. Significant differences were observed in all dimensions. Regarding cognitive status, 61% had no cognitive impairment, 25% had mild to moderate dementia, and 14% had possible cognitive decline. However, a relationship was found between activities of daily living and cognitive status (p=0.0001).
