Objective: To estimate the prevalence of SMC and their association with sociodemographic and clinical factors in 3285 older adults (OA) from ten Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries.  \nMethod: This population-based analysis used secondary data from an international multicenter study on NCD prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cognitively healthy participants were identified based on clinical criteria, cognitive assessments, and expert consensus. Participants were categorized as with (WSMC; n = 602) or without SMC (NSMC; n = 2683). Sociodemographic and clinical variables were recorded. Cognitive performance was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment–Short Version (MoCA-T), depressive symptoms with the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale  \n1 Departamento de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad de Los Lagos, Osorno, Chile  \n2Consorcio de Investigación Latinoamericano (CLATI), Temuco, Chile 3Departamento de Procesos Terapéuticos, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Católica de Temuco, Temuco, Chile  \n4Centro de Investigación del Desarrollo y Envejecimiento Humano, Universidad de Guadalajara CUTONALA, Guadalajara, México 5Universidad Nacional de Huancavelica, Huancayo, Perú  \n6Facultad de Medicina, Departamento Médico, Universidad de Cartagena, Grupo de investigación Neurociencia y Salud Global, Cartagena de indias, Colombia  \n7Centro de Investigación en Hematología y Trastornos Afines, Escuela de Medicina, Universidad de Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica  \n8Instituto Dominicano para el Estudio de la Salud Integral y la Psicología Aplicada (IDESIP), Santo Domingo, República Dominicana 9Universidad Nacional Autónoma Altoandina de Tarma, de Tarma, Perú 10Departamento de Neuropsicología, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala 11 Huertas College, Caguas, Puerto Rico  \n12Departamento de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad de la Costa, Barranquilla, Colombia  \n13Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión, Callao, Perú  \n14Especialidad de Neurología, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad del Sinú, Cartagena, Colombia  \n15Clínica Delgado-Auna.
