Abstract

A cross-sectional design investigated the physical attributes of 15 dyads of people with dementia and their caregivers. Physical and cognitive markers determined deviations from clinical thresholds for loss of functional independence, where 100% of participants performed below criterion-referenced threshold values for aerobic endurance. Walking distance for people with dementia was associated with bath/shower activity (p = .007), transfers (p < .001), and mobility (p = .013). Less distance walked was associated with more assistance with self-care tasks. Physical deficits associated with low aerobic endurance and lower body strength compromised independence, placing dyads at risk for falls and mobility-related health issues.

痴呆症患者及其护理者的体能和认知功能。

该研究采用横断面设计，调查了 15 对痴呆症患者及其照顾者的身体特征。身体和认知指标决定了他们是否偏离了丧失功能独立性的临床阈值，100% 的参与者在有氧耐力方面的表现低于标准参考阈值。痴呆症患者的步行距离与洗澡/淋浴活动（P = .007）和转移（P = .013）有关。步行距离越短，越需要他人协助完成自我护理任务。与低有氧耐力和低体力相关的身体缺陷损害了患者的独立性，使他们面临跌倒和与行动相关的健康问题的风险。
