SUMMARY:

Introduction: The Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCR) is a pre-dementia stage that associates slow gait speed with subjective cognitive impairment. MCR predicts cognitive impairment and dementia, suggesting it can be used as a screening tool in primary care. Objective: To identify the prevalence of MCR in elderly individuals from Coari, Amazonas. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional and population-based study. After sample calculation, cluster sampling was performed. Elderly individuals aged 60 years or older residing in urban areas were included, while those with cognitive or physical impairment hindering participation were excluded. Sociodemographic variables were assessed using a multidimensional questionnaire. MCR was defined as: cognitive changes (Mini-Mental State Examination); slow gait adjusted for height and sex (GAITRite Platinum 26' Portable Walkway System); absence of dementia; independence (KATZ). Data were analyzed using Jamovi with descriptive statistics and correlation tests. Expected results: The study will estimate the prevalence of SRCM in elderly people in CoariAM, analysing characteristics and associated factors. The results could guide public health policies and research into dementias, highlighting the need for affordable screening in low-income countries.
