Related factors of cognitive decline in community-dwelling elderly people are gender (male), alcohol consumption, smoking and employment (past). Thus, it is important that related factors open to change such as alcohol consumption, and smoking are more important factors to consider in cognitive decline. In conclusion, changing the above related factors that are closely related to lifestyle is very important in preventing cognitive decline in community-dwelling elderly people. Consequently, we must provide assistance and education to the elderly which will help them make changes in such related factors.
