Abstract
Aging, an inevitable process, is commonly measured by chronological age and, as a convention, a person aged 60 years or more is often referred to as ‘elderly’. Aging is associated with changes in dynamic biological, physiological, environmental, psychological, behavioral, and social processes. Cognition is defined as the acquisition of knowledge. correlation between aging and cognition is a dynamic interplay of factors. Cognitive function is central to participation in everyday life. Participation is the ability of a person to engage in various tasks in a home, work, and community environment. The quality of life of an individual depends on participation. Quality of Life (QOL) is an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and about their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns. This study aims to find the relationship between the participation of older individuals residing in urban areas and its relationship to their overall quality of life and the impact of mild cognitive impairment and its effect on social engagement and overall quality of life. The study concludes the participation restriction with decreased overall QOL in subjects with MCI, compared to subjects with no cognitive impairment.
