AB Background: Research on prevalence of cognitive frailty phenotypes incommunity-dwelling older adults in different countries is important toestimate their prevalence and to determine the influence of cognitive reserveand mental health in order to prevent frailty. The aims of this study were toestimate the prevalence of reversible and potentially reversible cognitivefrailty (R-CF, PR-CF) in a Portuguese sample of old adults and explore theassociations between these phenotypes and demographic, comorbidity,social support, cognitive reserve and mental health factors.Methods: We assessed frailty (Fried criteria) in 250 community-dwellingolder adults (179 women) aged 60 years or over (mean 71.04 years) withoutdementia, neurological or psychiatric disorders. Subjective cognitive declineand Mild cognitive impairment were diagnosed according to standardcriteria. The questionnaires Charlson Index, Medical Outcomes Study SocialSupport, Cognitive Reserve Index and General Health were used for assessingcomorbidity, social support, cognitive reserve and mental health, respectively.Results: Prevalence of R-CF was 14%, and that of PR-CF, 15.2%. Cognitivefrailty profiles differed significantly in relation to education, comorbidity,mental health, and cognitive reserve, but not in age or sex. Multivariate logisticregression showed that age, sex, comorbidity, social support, mental health,and cognitive reserve together predicted R-CF and PR-CF (90% specificity 75%sensitivity) with significant OR for mental health and cognitive reserve.Discussion: Cognitive reserve and mental health are important factorspredicting R-CF and PR-CF. We recommend assessing these factors for earlydetection of cognitive frailty and promoting psychological well-being andlifestyles that increase cognitive reserve in adults
