Abstract
Resumen: Introducción: Analizar la relación entre la disminución de las actividades instrumentales de la vida cotidiana, por la aparición de las quejas de pérdidas de funciones cognitivas, evaluando las diferencias asociadas a la escolaridad. Material y métodos: Estudio cuantitativo de diseño transversal con alcance explicativo, se usan las correlaciones para la propuesta del modelo explicativo basado en regresiones lineales; se utilizó el cuestionario de queja cognitiva (CQC) y la escala de actividades instrumentales de la vida cotidiana de Lawton y Brody (EAIVC). Resultados: La edad promedio es de 69,3 (DE=7,15), la media de años de escolaridad de 10,68 (DE=4,71), la distribución de niveles de escolaridad, 3,0 % leen y escriben, 27,5 % primaria, 18,1 % secundaria, 21,9 % preparatoria, 24,7 % con licenciatura y 4,8 % con posgrado. Sobre el estado de cronicidad 54,7 % señala padecimientos de diabetes mellitus y/o hipertensión arterial. Discusión: La asociación entre variables de queja cognitiva, funcionalidad en actividades instrumentales de la vida cotidiana y escolaridad conforman una unidad de análisis en personas con enfermedades crónico-degenerativas que deberá atenderse en el futuro de cara a proponer mejores herramientas para su medición y su consecuente atención en la prevención del deterioro cognitivo.
Abstract: Introduction: Analyze the relationship between the decrease in instrumental activities of daily life, due to the appearance of complaints of loss of cognitive functions, evaluating the differences associated with schooling. Material and methods: Quantitative study of cross-sectional design with explanatory scope, correlations are used to propose the explanatory model based on linear regressions; the cognitive complaint questionnaire (CQC) and the Lawton and Brody instrumental activities of daily living scale (EAIVC) were used. Results: The average age is 69,3 (SD=7,15), the average number of years of schooling is 10,68 (SD=4,71), the distribution of schooling levels, 3,0 % read and write, 27,5 % primary school, 18,1 % secondary school, 21,9 % high school, 24,7 % with a bachelor's degree and 4,8 % with a postgraduate degree. Regarding the state of chronicity, 54,7 % report suffering from diabetes mellitus and/or high blood pressure. Discussion: The association between cognitive complaint variables, functionality in instrumental activities of daily life and schooling make up a unit of analysis in people with chronic-degenerative diseases that must be addressed in the future in order to propose better tools for its measurement and its consequent attention to the prevention of cognitive decline.
