Kavita Batra (Medicine) and a team of global scholars, including Srikanta Banerjee (Walden University), Jagdish Khubchandani, Elizabeth England-Kennedy, and Karen Kopera-Frye (all from New Mexico State University), along with Rhonda McIntyre (Ross University School of Medicine), have published a study titled "Cognitive Functioning Influences Mortality Risk Among Older Adults with COPD" in the Healthcare journal. The findings offer valuable insights into how cognitive impairment affects mortality risk in older adults with COPD, and the study discusses potential strategies for effectively addressing this dual chronic health challenge.
