Methods We recruited subjects from 8 communities in Beijing. 1067 people were investigated, including 839 empty-nest elderly subjects and 228 not empty-nest elderly subjects. We used demography questionnaire and mental health scale to assess the cognitive ability and mental health of these elders. Results The subjects in the empty-nest elderly having high education, well-condition marriage and being male were more than those in the other group （T or x^2= 10.769, 2.009, 159.523, P〈0.05）. There was no significant difference in the global cognition between the two groups （F=5.541, P〉0.05）. Among language ability, working memory, attention and executive function, the differences between these two groups were significant （F=7.203, 4.436, 8.806, P〈0.05）. Compared with normal elderly subjects, empty-nest elderly subjects had higher scores in face scale and GDS scale （F=5.541, 5.578, P〈0.05）. Conclusion There are remarkable cognitive ability and mental health differences between empty-nest and not empty-nest elders.
