Abstract

Background: Multiple medical conditions arising from reduced physical and physiological functioning, including cognitive decline, manifest in older persons. This study aims to examine the relationship between cognitive function and associated risk factors in older persons living in long-term care facilities in Indonesia.

Methods: This study involved 350 elderly individuals residing in long-term care institutions. A cross-sectional design utilizing an analytical survey methodology was implemented. Data were gathered via interviews employing a demographic questionnaire and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (version 23).

Results: Univariate analysis demonstrated significant correlations between cognitive performance and gender, ethnicity, level of education, medical history, subjective memory issues, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, and employment history (p < 0.05). Higher education (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.56-0.84) and reduced subjective memory complaints (OR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.20-0.44) correlated positively with enhanced cognitive function, but alcohol intake (OR = 6.79, 95% CI: 2.42-19.1) correlated with impaired cognitive function.

Conclusions: the level of education, subjective memory complaints, and alcohol intake are substantially correlated with cognitive performance in older persons residing in long-term care facilities. Evaluating demographic characteristics in elderly individuals can assist healthcare professionals in the early detection of cognitive impairment, facilitating prompt interventions in long-term care environments.

认知功能及其决定因素在印度尼西亚老年人居住在长期护理：从横断面研究的见解。

背景：由身体和生理功能下降引起的多种疾病，包括认知能力下降，在老年人中表现出来。本研究的目的是研究认知功能和相关危险因素之间的关系，生活在长期护理机构的老年人在印度尼西亚。方法：本研究涉及350名居住在长期照护机构的长者。采用分析性调查方法进行横断面设计。数据通过访谈收集，采用人口调查问卷和蒙特利尔认知评估（MoCA）。采用SPSS （version 23）进行统计分析。结果：单变量分析显示，认知表现与性别、种族、教育水平、病史、主观记忆问题、吸烟习惯、饮酒、水果和蔬菜的饮食摄入量以及工作经历之间存在显著相关性（p < 0.05）。高等教育（OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.56-0.84）和减少主观记忆抱怨（OR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.20-0.44）与认知功能增强呈正相关，但饮酒（OR = 6.79, 95% CI: 2.42-19.1）与认知功能受损相关。结论：教育水平、主观记忆抱怨和酒精摄入量与长期护理机构老年人的认知表现存在显著相关。评估老年人的人口统计学特征可以帮助医疗保健专业人员早期发现认知障碍，促进长期护理环境中的及时干预。
