The time for action is now! Age is the greatest risk factor for cognitive impairment, and as the Baby Boomer generation passes age 65, the number of people living with cognitive impairment is expected to jump dramatically.

Cognitive Impairment: A Call to Action, Now!

Cognitive impairment is costly. People with cognitive impairment report more than three times as many hospital stays as individuals who are hospitalized for some other condition. Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias alone are estimated to be the third most expensive disease to treat in the United States. The average Medicaid nursing facility expenditure per state in 2010 for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease is estimated at $647 million, not including home-based and community- based care or prescription drug costs. The average Medicaid payment for a person aged 65 or older with Alzheimer’s or other dementias is nine times higher than that for other beneficiaries in the same age group. Findings:

While age is the primary risk factor for cognitive impairment, other risk factors include family history, education level, brain injury, exposure to pesticides or toxins, physical inactivity, and chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, heart disease and stroke, and diabetes. Individuals may reduce the risk of cognitive impairment by keeping physically active and maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Currently, there is no cure for cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer’s disease or other related

  • dementias. However, some causes of cognitive impairment are related to

health issues that may be treatable, like medication side effects, vitamin B12 deficiency, and depression. This is why it is important to identify people who are showing signs of cognitive impairment to ensure that they are evaluated by a health care professional and receive appropriate care or treatment.

  • Establish a legislative task force to study cognitive impairment in your state.
  • Encourage your state health agencies to consider the needs of community-

dwelling people with cognitive impairment in their policies and programs.

  • Seek Medicaid and Medicare waivers for demonstration projects designed to

find solutions to complex conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

  • Check to see if your state is collecting information to assess cognitive

impairment in your state; for example, your state includes the Impact of Cognitive Impairment module in your state’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, available at www.cdc.gov/brfss Recommendations:
