Abstract

The increasingly aging population worldwide brings public health more into prominence. As reflecting the individual differences to effectively use brain regions and be resilient against age-related neural losses, cognitive reserve (CR) can play a crucial role in promoting both psychological and physical aspects of successful aging. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between CR, successful aging, psychological well-being, and physical independence in a sample of healthy elderly. Ninety-two elderly (aged 65-88) with normal cognition participated in the study. Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire (CRIq), Successful Aging Scale (SAS), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBSE), and Lawton Instrumental Daily Living Activities Scale (IADL) were used. Sociodemographic information was also collected. The analyses revealed that CR was significantly associated with the total SAS, PWSBE, and IADL scores. In addition, income level appeared to be a significant mediator between CR and PWBSE and SAS. Overall, our findings indicate that a stronger CR may support successful aging and serve as a protective factor for psychological well-being and physical independence during old age.

认知储备与成功衰老的关系：一项关注老年人心理健康和日常生活活动的横断面研究。

随着世界范围内人口老龄化的加剧，公共卫生问题日益突出。认知储备（cognitive reserve， CR）反映了个体差异，可以有效地利用大脑区域，抵御与年龄相关的神经损失，在促进成功衰老的心理和生理方面都起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨健康老年人的CR、成功老龄化、心理幸福感和身体独立性之间的关系。92名认知正常的老年人（65 ~ 88岁）参加了研究。采用认知储备指数问卷（CRIq）、成功衰老量表（SAS）、心理健康量表（PWBSE）和劳顿日常生活活动量表（IADL）。还收集了社会人口统计信息。分析显示，CR与总SAS、PWSBE和IADL评分显著相关。此外，收入水平在CR与PWBSE和SAS之间具有显著的中介作用。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，较强的CR可能支持老年成功衰老，并作为老年心理健康和身体独立的保护因素。
