Time-stratified modeling of cognitive impairment risk in rural aging populations: Nomogram development (2011) and external validation (2013) using CHARLS
Background
With China's aging population, cognitive impairment has become a pressing public health issue. Rural older adults face disproportionately higher risks, yet remain underrepresented in predictive modeling studies. This study aimed to develop and externally validate a nomogram to estimate cognitive impairment risk among rural older adults in China.
Methods
Data were obtained from 2228 rural participants aged ≥60 years in the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), randomly assigned to training and internal validation cohorts. An additional 1854 rural participants from the 2013 CHARLS wave served as an external validation set. Feature selection was conducted using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), followed by multivariable logistic regression to identify independent predictors. A nomogram was constructed, with model performance evaluated through ROC curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
Results
Six predictors—age, education, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, handgrip strength, and depressive symptoms—were included in the final nomogram. The model achieved AUCs of 0.849 (training), 0.852 (internal validation), and 0.806 (external validation), indicating strong discriminative ability. Calibration showed good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. DCA demonstrated favorable clinical utility across all cohorts.
Conclusion
The nomogram exhibited strong predictive performance and generalizability, offering a cost-effective and practical tool for early identification of cognitive impairment in underserved rural populations in China.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
