In the design of cross-sectional studies, the measurement of the components of the architectural design (baseline state, maneuver, and outcome) are measured simultaneously, for this reason it is relevant to try to respect that the maneuver is prior to the outcome, in this way, in the present study it was considered to exclude subjects with a history of alterations that generate alterations of cognitive function. However, the presence of conditions such as dependence on basic activities of daily living has not been shown to be a condition related to impaired cognitive function, which is why it was included as one of the factors studied.
