“…A previous study based on a panel dataset examined the associations between alcohol consumption patterns and dietary behaviours with cognitive impairment among Chinese older adult men and women and reported that former alcohol use was a risk factor for cognitive impairment among men only whereas light or heavy alcohol consumption was not associated with cognitive impairment 59 . Different other studies demonstrate mixed evidence on the same and has found that low to moderate alcohol consumption is a protective factor of cognitive function among older adults 52,60,61 whereas, heavy alcohol consumption is associated with the increased risk of cognitive impairment 62,63 .…”

“…To note, LASI completed the first wave of the data collection only during 2017-2018 and this study produces the estimates based on one time-point of the dataset available from the survey and essentially the study is crosssectional in nature. In this regard, a longitudinal survey collecting the panel information over time is advantageous and more effective to study chronic conditions like cognitive decline 59 given nutritional status, alcohol and or tobacco consumption behaviour of a population with time. In this context, the exploration of this study topic will bring more analytical and practical evidence on the same once LASI completes collecting the information during future rounds of the survey.…”

Cognition capacity is essentially age-dependent and it is associated with the overall well-being of an individual. The public health aspects of cognitive research primarily focus on the possible delaying of cognitive decline among the older adult population. In this context, using the most recent round of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India, 2017–2018 data, this study examines the cognition capacity among older adults aged 45 and above subject to their nutritional health and health behaviour (tobacco and alcohol consumption). It is observed that almost one in every tenth individual (10%) above 45 years of age in India shows low cognition scores. Low cognition is much more prevalent among 60 + females than males. Around one-fifth of the underweight older adults (18%) demonstrate low cognition capacity among them. Of those older adults who consume only tobacco, 11% of them demonstrate low cognition than the rest. The partial proportional odds model estimation shows that older adults are at higher risk of developing low cognition with increasing age and beyond age 65, the individuals carry a critically higher risk to experience low cognition. The estimation also shows that with increasing age older adults are higher likely to experience poor cognition independent of nutritional status, but underweight older adults are comparatively more likely to experience low cognition followed by normal and overweight older adults. In terms of alcohol-tobacco consumption behaviour, older adults who consume both are more likely to experience low cognition with increasing age followed by ‘only alcohol consumers’, and ‘only tobacco consumers’.
