    Older adults, within the aging process, suffer from deterioration of organic, mental and intellectual functions, affecting their normal performance, in the family environment and in their environment. They generally lead a sedentary life or reduce their physical activity, being vulnerable to the appearance of chronic degenerative diseases. Physical activity is one of the recognized pillars for healthy aging, and it also reduces the risk of chronic diseases or premature death. Cognitive impairment is a silent problem, difficult to identify. Therefore, the use of short, easy-to-use and interpret screening instruments is essential for early diagnosis and timely intervention. Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of physical activity and cognitive impairment in older adults at the Corazones Unidos Club of the Maternal and Child Center of Villa El Salvador. The hypothetical-deductive method will be used, with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The population is older adults belonging to the Club. The instruments to be used are the IPAQ Questionnaire (WHO) to measure the level of physical activity and the Pfeiffer Questionnaire (SMPS) to assess cognitive impairment. The result aims to demonstrate that physical activity has an inverse relationship with cognitive impairment.
