The Moderating Role of Dementia-Related Fear in the Relationship Between Perceived Cognitive Decline and Motivation for Dementia Risk Reduction Behaviors in Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Objective
With the increasing incidence of dementia, lifestyle interventions are key for long-term risk reduction. Understanding the psychological factors affecting lifestyle change motivation is crucial to developing effective policy strategies for dementia risk reduction. This study explores the moderating role of dementia-related fear on the relationship between perceived cognitive decline and engagement in dementia risk reduction behaviors.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 Chinese community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults. Hierarchical regression and simple slope analysis were used to assess the moderating effect of dementia-related fear on the relationship between perceived cognitive decline and motivation to engage in dementia risk reduction behaviors.
Results
A significant correlation was found between perceived cognitive decline and increased motivation to engage in dementia risk reduction behaviors (r = 0.44). Dementia-related fear acted as a significant moderator; motivation was positively associated with low to moderate levels of fear, whereas this association diminished and became non-significant at higher levels of fear.
Conclusions
The findings suggest that while lower levels of dementia-related fear may be linked to increased motivation for engaging in risk reduction behaviors, elevated levels of fear do not appear to support such engagement. Rather than emphasizing the negative impacts of dementia, public health strategies should empower individuals with actionable messages to engage in dementia risk reduction behaviors.
期刊介绍：
The rapidly increasing world population of aged people has led to a growing need to focus attention on the problems of mental disorder in late life. The aim of the Journal is to communicate the results of original research in the causes, treatment and care of all forms of mental disorder which affect the elderly. The Journal is of interest to psychiatrists, psychologists, social scientists, nurses and others engaged in therapeutic professions, together with general neurobiological researchers.
The Journal provides an international perspective on the important issue of geriatric psychiatry, and contributions are published from countries throughout the world. Topics covered include epidemiology of mental disorders in old age, clinical aetiological research, post-mortem pathological and neurochemical studies, treatment trials and evaluation of geriatric psychiatry services.
