A standardized questionnaire tool for dementia (Dementia Assessment by Rapid Test) and functional dependency (Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale) was used. Data were recorded using tablets installed with open data kit software. Ordinal logistic model was used to determine the associations.

Factors such as female gender (odds ratio = 4.41, confidence interval = 3.31-5.89), illiterate (2.68, 2.03-3.54), not working (5.2, 3.55-7.71), smoking habits (0.29, 0.18-0.47), low body mass index (0.96, 0.93-0.99), hypertension (1.33, 1-1.76), and multi-morbidity (1.51, 1.04-2.19) were found to be significantly associated with dementia.
