| Sumario: | Cognitive impairment conforms a syndrome that decreases functional independence affecting cognition, motor and emotional abilities.
Objective: To highlight the value of a comprehensive approach from psychoimmunoendocrinology (PINE/PNIE), for the understanding, prevention and management of cognitive impairment.
The loss of cognitive abilities has a slow and progressive neurodegenerative evolution, being its maximum expression, dementia. It is a health problem related to age and is associated with obesity as a risk factor. Therefore, it constitutes a growing global public health challenge, as population ages more and more and the global prevalence of obesity increase.
Conclusions: An approach from psychoimmunoendocrinology, which includes psychosocial, metabolic, endocrine aspects and maintenance of a healthy weight, could help to improve the quality of life of people by preventing the appearance of cognitive deterioration and reducing the severity of the symptoms until very old ages. |
