Abstract

Objectives: We investigated whether functional social support-the degree to which one perceives support is available when needed-is associated with executive function, a key cognitive domain for everyday functioning and adaptation to change.

Methods: Analyses (n = 23,491) utilized cross-sectional data from the Comprehensive cohort of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), a population-based study of community-dwelling adults aged 45-85 years. Executive function was assessed by neurocognitive battery. Perceived social support was measured using the 19-item Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey. Logistic regression models were adjusted for sociodemographic, health, and social covariates.

Results: Positive social interactions as well as affectionate and emotional/informational functional social support were positively associated with executive function.

Discussion: Social support plays an important role in cognitive health. Diversifying social programming beyond tangible social support to target other subtypes of support may help preserve executive function in middle-aged and older adults.

功能性社会支持亚型与中老年人的执行功能有关：加拿大老龄化纵向研究基线综合队列的发现

目的：我们研究了功能性社会支持（人们认为在需要时可以获得支持的程度）是否与执行功能相关：我们研究了功能性社会支持--人们认为在需要时可以获得支持的程度--是否与执行功能有关，执行功能是日常功能和适应变化的关键认知领域：分析（n = 23,491）采用了加拿大老龄化纵向研究（CLSA）综合队列的横截面数据，该研究是一项针对 45-85 岁社区居住成年人的人口研究。执行功能通过神经认知电池进行评估。感知到的社会支持采用 19 项医疗结果研究-社会支持调查进行测量。逻辑回归模型根据社会人口学、健康和社会协变量进行了调整：结果：积极的社会互动以及亲情和情感/信息功能性社会支持与执行功能呈正相关：讨论：社会支持在认知健康方面发挥着重要作用。讨论：社会支持在认知健康中发挥着重要作用。除了有形的社会支持外，针对其他支持子类型的多样化社会计划可能有助于保护中老年人的执行功能。
