Abstract: Previous studies noted that cognitive impairment or dementia with advancing age is a negative predictor of survival [1], which was attributed not only to a decreased biological vitality [2] but also to a multifactorial phenomenon with origins that operate across the entire lifespan [3]. According to a recent [4] systematic review, survival after diagnosis of dementia was associated with various factors. Life expectancy decreases with age at diagnosis, gender, dementing diseases, and severity.
