Abstract
Background: With this study, we aim to determine the associations of the different categories of the body mass
index (BMI) with activities of daily living (ADL) and cognitive performance in two different populations living in the
community; Colombian and South Korean older adults.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of two surveys separately; The Survey on Health, Well-Being, and
Aging in Colombia (SABE) (n = 23,343) and the Korean Longitudinal Study of aging (KLoSA) (n = 4556). Participants
older than 50 years were selected from rural and urban areas achieving a representative sample. Here we
investigated the association between BMI categories with function using zero-inflated negative binomial
regressions, and with cognition using logistic regression models.
Results: After adjustment, in Colombia, underweight was associated with an impaired score on the Mini-mental
State Examination (MMSE) and worse performance in the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Also, being
overweight was associated with a better score on the MMSE and the IADL. For both outcomes education level
significantly influenced the predictions. In South Korea, there were no significant associations for cognition, IADL,
or basic activities of daily living (BADL).
Conclusions: In the Colombian population, underweight, was associated with reduced cognitive performance and
daily functioning. Additionally, being overweight but not obese was associated with better cognition and daily
functioning. In South Korea, there were no significant associations between BMI and cognition, IADL, or BADL.
