About

Elderly disability and cognitive impairment rates were different between elderly man and woman. Sex-specific risk factors and observed gender differences across the lifespan were associated with different degrees of cognitive and activity of daily living function decline between men and women. However, some of these viewpoint remains controversial.

The aim of this study is to explore the gender differences and influencing factors of disability and cognitive impairment among the elderly.
