Resumen
Worldwide studies in the last decade have measured the rate of cognitive decline in the elderly population,
mainly in Australia, Europe, United States, and Canada. In Mexico, this information is very limited and the population of
Hidalgo State has never been studied. Therefore, we decided to perform a transversal study to determine the rate of
cognitive decline in this region. We will present an analysis in order to establish the main differences between rural and
urban areas, as well as identifying the particular triggers of cognitive decline on each area.
