ABSTRACT
Aim:
to identify the factors associated with performance in the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) on the part of the elderly attending a specialized outpatient clinic.Method:
a cross-sectional study involving a convenience sample, comprising 216 elderly people waiting for consultation at a specialized outpatient clinic, from March to June 2015, with the application of a structured instrument and the MMSE. For analysis purposes, the study made use of Stata version 12 software, and results were considered statistically significant when p<0.05.Results:
subjects who were female (54%), married (44%), who lived with their spouse (41%) and had low educational level (70%) characteristics predominated. We identified a significant association between MMSE performance and gender (p=0.001), education (p=0.001), income (p=0.001), home companions (p=0.002) and individual monthly income (p=0.001).Conclusion:
early identification of cognitive decline and associated factors enables prevention and/or treatment strategies to be implemented by health professionals, especially nurses.(AU)RESUMO
Objetivo:

estudo transversal, com amostra por conveniência, constituída por 216 idosos que aguardavam consulta no ambulatório de especialidades, no período de março a junho de 2015, com aplicação de instrumento estruturado e do MEEM. Para análise, utilizou-se o software Stata versão 12® e os resultados foram considerados estatisticamente significativos quando p<0,05.Resultados:
houve predomínio do sexo feminino (54%), casados (44%), que moravam com o cônjuge (41%), e com baixa escolaridade (70%). Identificou-se associação significativa entre o desempenho no MEEM e sexo (p=0,001), escolaridade (p=0,001), renda (p=0,001), arranjo domiciliar (p=0,002), renda mensal individual (p=0,001).Conclusão:
identificar precocemente o declínio cognitivo e fatores associados possibilita que estratégias de prevenção e/ou tratamento sejam implementadas pelos profissionais de saúde, em especial o enfermeiro.(AU)
