Abstract

Objectives

The cognitive function of older adults is an important indicator of healthy aging. Living arrangements have been identified as a potentially important factor affecting cognitive function among older adults. This study investigated the relationship between living arrangements and cognitive function among older adults aged 65 years and older in Kermanshah City, Iran.

Methods

The cross-sectional study design was used in this study. Participants aged 65 years and older in Kermanshah City, Iran were recruited for the study. The Neuropsychiatric Unit Cognitive Assessment (NUCOG) was used to assess cognitive function, and demographic information was collected to assess living arrangements.

Results

The study found that cognitive function was generally within the normal range among older adults, and that age, education level, and living arrangements were significantly associated with cognitive performance.

Discussion

These results highlight the importance of considering demographic factors when developing interventions aimed at promoting cognitive health among older adults.

期刊介绍： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
