Abstract: Abstract Expected dramatic increase in the number of people with cognitive impairment will put high demands on health and social care in the Czech Republic. Population aging and the increase of elderly persons aged 65+ evoked a need to address this issue, since age is the major risk factor for dementia and severe cognitive impairment. Conflicting conclusions of European studies confirm the difficulties of quantifying the disease. This article includes the analysis of risk factors of severe cognitive impairment, based on socio-demographic and health variables in the Czech Republic. The method of logistic regression was used for the analysis of risk factors.
