Objective: to determine the prevalence and risk associations of mild cognitive impairment in community-dwelling elderly.

Methods: observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, cross-sectional research from January to December 2019. The population consisted of 150 adults over 65 years of age from the family medical office No.1 of Los Palacios municipality.

Results: female sex, age group 80 years and older, medium level of schooling, marital status without a partner, physical inactivity, hypertension, smoking, depression and insomnia were predominant and there were also affectations in immediate and mediate memory. Age and history of stroke were risk factors with statistical significance, while educational level was a protective factor.
