The relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI), religiosity and/or spirituality (R/S), and all-cause mortality among older adults has yet to be clarified. The current study aims to examine this relationship using a longitudinal cohort from ethnic minority communities in mainland China. The Cox proportional hazards regression modeling revealed that MCI predicted an increased risk of all-cause mortality, and high R/S buffered this association. Those findings suggest that a religious-spiritual integrated community intervention program may reduce the mortality risk in older adults with MCI in ethnically disadvantaged populations.
轻度认知障碍（MCI）、宗教信仰和/或精神性（R/S）与老年人全因死亡率之间的关系尚未明确。本研究旨在利用中国大陆少数民族社区的纵向队列来检验这种关系。Cox比例风险回归模型显示，MCI预示着全因死亡率风险增加，而较高的R/S缓冲了这种关联。这些发现表明，宗教-精神综合社区干预项目可能会降低处于种族弱势的患有MCI的老年人的死亡风险。
