Overweight (AOR: 0.59, 0.36–0.97), being physically active at least 60 minutes per day (AOR: 0.59, 0.35–0.95), antihypertensive drugs users (AOR: 0.45, 0.28–0.72), and lipid lowering drugs users (AOR: 0.21, 0.06–0.76) significantly lowered the risk of cognitive impairment, compared with normal weight, inadequate outdoor activity, and non-medication users, respectively. Accordingly, this study found that women, solitary life, lower income was associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment, while overweight, being physically active, and antihypertensive and lipid lowering drugs usage might lower the risk.Longbing RenYongtao ZhengLezhou WuYijun GuYusheng HeBo JiangJie ZhangLijuan ZhangJue LiNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 8, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2018)
