Abstract

Background: With an increase in elderly people, it is essential to address the issue of cognitive impairment and support healthy aging. This study aimed to assess cognitive impairment and factors associated with it among older adults.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in different catchment areas within the Jerash governorate in the north of Jordan. The Elderly Cognitive Assessment Questionnaire (ECAQ) and a household face-to-face interview were used to collect data from 220 older adult participants aged 60 years and more. Descriptive statistics were conducted to describe the study variables. Correlation tests were applied to find associations between them. Logistic regression analysis was applied, with a minimum significance level (p < 0.05).

Results: About 9.10% of the older adults had cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment was correlated with age, self-perceived health, hypertension, stroke, and mental illness. The primary predictors of cognitive impairment were age [odds ratio (OR) =1.07 (1.01-1.14), p = 0.001] and stroke [OR = 10.92 (1.44-82.85), p = 0.001].

Conclusions: While many factors were correlated with cognitive impairment, the strongest predictors of cognitive impairment were age and stroke.

约旦老年人认知障碍及相关因素评估。

背景：随着老年人的增加，解决认知障碍问题和支持健康老龄化至关重要。本研究旨在评估老年人的认知障碍及其相关因素：在约旦北部杰拉什省的不同集水区开展了一项横断面研究。研究采用了老年人认知评估问卷（ECAQ）和家庭面对面访谈的方式，收集了 220 名 60 岁及以上老年人的数据。对研究变量进行了描述性统计。应用相关性检验来发现变量之间的联系。采用逻辑回归分析，最小显著性水平（P < 0.05）：结果：约 9.10%的老年人存在认知障碍。认知障碍与年龄、自我感觉健康状况、高血压、中风和精神疾病相关。认知障碍的主要预测因素是年龄[几率比（OR）=1.07（1.01-1.14），P=0.001]和中风[OR=10.92（1.44-82.85），P=0.001]：虽然许多因素与认知功能障碍相关，但年龄和中风是认知功能障碍的最强预测因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
