abstract = "We examined the effect of cognitive impairment on task-specific incident disability measured by the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), in three-year follow-up of community-dwelling elderly in Azuchi, Japan. Assessing cognition with the Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS), we found that minimally (21≤HDS<25) or mildly (17≤IDS<21) cognitively impaired subjects had significantly higher risk of losing functional abilities compared with those with intact cognition. Cognitive impairment accounts for 11% to 36% of incident disability in ADL-IADL tasks, with the highest PAR% (Population Attributable Risk) shown for the ability to feed oneself. Even among those with intact ADL and IADL abilities, depending on the status of cognitive impairment, a significant portion of individuals lose both ADL and IADL abilities within 3 years.",
