Keyword: Aging

Abstract: This study investigates the time of day and its effect on cognitive declines experienced by nursing home and at-home patients. This was assessed through MMSE tests in the morning and afternoon. Both groups exhibited a similar decline and age was the main indicator highlighting that time may have no significance.
