The objective of this paper is to explore the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) status of elderly individuals in community settings in China and to analyze the associated factors. A quantitative method was used, and a closed-ended survey of 50 elderly individuals was conducted in China. The MoCA scores of elderly adults in the community differed significantly by age, education, and gender. The MoCA scores of elderly individuals with education levels below elementary school were significantly different from those of individuals higher levels of education. By adopting a quantitative method, the author revealed that the incidence rate of MCI in elderly individuals in the community setting is significantly related to gender, age, and education. Future studies should focus on the prevention of dementia, especially in elderly people diagnosed with MCI.
