Cognition and incarceration: Cognitive impairment and its associated outcomes in older adults in jail

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Sep 24, 2018

Ahalt C, et al. - Researchers examined the prevalence of, and outcomes associated with, a positive screen for cognitive impairment in older adults in jail. They analyzed combined data from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on individuals in jail aged 55 years and older (N=310; mean age, 59 [range: 55–80]). These older adults showed a prevalence of cognitive impairment that was found to be associated with adverse health and criminal justice outcomes. They emphasize developing a geriatric approach to jail-based and transitional health care to assess and address cognitive impairment.
