What is it about?
inflammation and oxidation are common cellular processes in the aging process. However, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are closely linked to chronic noncommunicable diseases. However, in older people with low income, education level and with cognitive impairment these conditions are still little investigated.

Why is it important?
this study is very important because it shows the profile of these biomarkers in low-income elderly, education and cognitive impairment, which helps us to better understand the processes that involve cognition in humans
Perspectives
It nevertheless contributes to a better comprehension of the CI etiopathology in older adults with very low income and education. It brings new perspectives to the investigation of novel redox metabolism and inflammatory biomarkers that are allied to genetic, adiposity and neuroimaging variables that might be associated with cognitive impairment.
