    Abstract: Introducción. La soledad y el aislamiento social son factores de riesgo conocidos para el deterioro cognitivo; su efecto en las personas mayores (PM) después del confinamiento por COVID-19 está emergiendo. Objetivo. Establecer una asociación entre la soledad y el aislamiento social, con la función cognitiva diaria en PM mexicanas durante la primera ola de la pandemia por COVID-19. Método. Estudio transversal derivado de la cohorte “The impact of COVID 19 on well-being, cognition, and discrimination among older adults in the United States and Latin America”, incluyó 308 AM reclutados de marzo-agosto 2020, la función cognitiva diaria fue evaluada con Everyday Cognition Scale (E-Cog) con un punto de corte 1.31 (cognición normal); la soledad y el aislamiento social fueron variables binomiales. Resultados. La media de edad fue 65.4 ± 7.9 años, 75.7% mujeres. E-Cog promedio fue 57.4 (DE = ± 19.1), 49.1 % tenía una puntuación () 1.31 (cognición normal), 50.9% #cer# 1.31 (deterioro cognitivo). Ochenta y cuatro por ciento de los participantes reportaron soledad, 79.9% aislamiento social. El modelo de regresión multivariado mostró una asociación negativa y estadísticamente significativa entre aislamiento social y soledad con E-Cog (β = -.046, IC 95% = [-.8, -.013], p = .007; β = -.16, IC 95% = [-.08, -.018] , p = .003), y una asociación positiva con queja de memoria subjetiva (β = .81, IC 95% = [-.16, -.11], p = () .001) ajustado a edad, sexo y escolaridad. Discusión y conclusión. Estos datos sugieren la necesidad de una mayor vigilancia de quienes presentan soledad y aislamiento social debido a su potencial efecto deletéreo sobre la función cognitiva.

    Abstract: Loneliness and social isolation are known risk factors for cognitive decline; their effect in older adults (OA) after COVID‐19 lockdown is emerging. Objective To establish an association between loneliness with functional abilities mediated by cognition in Mexican OA during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Method Cross‐sectional study derived from the cohort “The impact of COVID 19 on well‐being, cognition, and discrimination among older adults in the United States and Latin America”, which included 308 older adults recruited between March‐August 2020 whose cognition‐mediated functional abilities were determined with the Everyday Cognition Scale (E‐Cog) questionnaire. The presence of loneliness (The De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale) was a binomial variable. Univariate linear regression models were constructed to determine the association between loneliness, and E‐Cog (Ln) scores, which were later adjusted for potentially confounding variables like age and education. In addition, participants were categorized into tertiles of the global E‐Cog score with the following ranges: Tertile 1 (T1): 37.46 ‐46; Tertile 2 (T2): 46.01‐58 and Tertile 3 (T3): 58.01 or more and were compared using ANCOVA. Satistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 25.0 for MAC (Chicago, IL, USA), figures were made with RStudio (R version 4.1.0, RStudio, Inc., Boston, MA) Result The mean age was 65.4 ± 7.9 years and 75.7% were women. The mean E‐Cog was 57.4 (SD: ± 19.1). 84% of participants (n:259) had loneliness. Those with less perception of loneliness had a better performance on E‐Cog by tertiles. The univariate linear model showed a positive and statistically significant association between loneliness and E‐Cog, adjusted by age, sex and education level (β 0.41, 95% CI: 0.22‐0.38, p: 〈 0.01). This model explained 16.1% of the variability of the E‐Cog score. Conclusion OA with self‐reported loneliness had the worst performance in functional abilities mediated by cognition. These data suggest the need for increased vigilance of those who have loneliness due to its potential deleterious effect on cognitive function.
