The present study aims to learn about the characteristics of cognitive disorders and dementia in private specialist clinics and the preparation of these doctors in this area. Dementia is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among the elderly, defined as a chronic syndrome characterized by progressive impairment of cognition involving one or more domains, such as memory, learning, language, executive functions, visuospatial skills and behavior, in addition to disability and impairment. in psychosocial development. The present study showed a high prevalence of cognitive impairment, which was associated with age, education, functional capacity and nutritional status. It is possible to question whether this is due to the large number of people with mild cognitive impairment without dementia with subsequent remission of symptoms, or the occurrence of early-onset dementia.
