The expansion of life expectancy culminates with an increase in chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCD) such as dementia and depression. Through the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clock Drawing Test (TDR) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (EDG), 11% of the sample with significant cognitive deficits were found by MMSE; 17.3% with risk of developing dementia by TDR; and 28.21% with depressive symptoms by EDG.
