Introduction: Cognitive impairment is one of the most uncertain and disabling diseases today, with a high prevalence in elderly patients and a preference for the female sex. Until today, it is not known for certain why this preference exists. Therefore, this study investigated pregnancy, which is a physiological state that differentiates females from males, to determine if there is a correlation with the development of cognitive impairment. The objective was to determine the correlation between factors associated with pregnancy and the development of cognitive impairment in women over 60 years of age in the geriatrics service of a public hospital in Cusco during the years 2022-2023. Method: This was an observational, analytical, cross-sectional, correlational, prospective study. A total of 139 patients over 60 years of age were evaluated. A survey was administered to obtain their pregnancy-related history, and the Mini-Mental State Examination was conducted. The chi-square test and Pearson's R were used to find the correlation between factors associated with pregnancy and the development of cognitive impairment. Results: Eight factors were found to be associated with the development of cognitive impairment. These were current age (Chi-square = 85.66; p = 0.000), level of education (Chi-square = 44.29; p = 0.005), multiple pregnancy (Chi-square = 10.132; p = 0.006), inverse correlation with the variables number of pregnancies (Pearson's R = -0.557; p = 0.000), number of children (Pearson's R = -0.1819; p = 0.004), number of daughters (Pearson's R = -0.192; p = 0.003), preeclampsia (Pearson's R = -0.192; p = 0.003), and number of abortions (Pearson's R = -0.4503; p = 0.000). Conclusions: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between pregnancy and the development of cognitive impairment in women older than 60 years. The results showed that factors such as age, educational level, and multiple pregnancies were associated with cognitive decline. It was found that there was an inverse correlation between the number of pregnancies, number of children, number of female daughters, preeclampsia, and the risk of cognitive impairment. However, the relationship between cesarean delivery, gestational diabetes, and prematurity and dementia risk remains uncertain. These findings suggest that education and family planning may play a role in preventing cognitive decline and dementia in women.
