A total of 841 elderly (female: 422, male: 419) living in the community were included in this cross-sectional study. The sociodemographic information of the elderly was recorded. In addition, cognitive status, quality of life, depression and musculoskeletal pain were questioned. The classification and regression tree analysis was used to identify factors associated with cognitive status. Age, depression, quality of life, neck pain, and headache were determinative on the cognitive status of the elderly.
