OBJECTIVE
Existing evidence indicates that a younger subjective age is a marker of successful aging, including better health and cognition. Building upon this evidence, it is likely that individuals with dementia might feel older. However, subjective evaluation of age might not be affected by dementia because these individuals tend to be anosognosic and report positive health-related quality of life.
METHODS
Data from two cross-sectional samples from France and the United States were used to compare the subjective age ratings of individuals with and without dementia.
RESULTS
Results from both samples revealed that individuals with dementia felt younger than their age but did not differ from the controls, even after controlling for sex, chronological age, education, and self-rated health.
CONCLUSION
The present study suggests that there are no large differences in the subjective experience of age between healthy individuals and those with dementia.
目的
现有证据表明，主观年龄较轻是成功老龄化的一个标志，包括更好的健康状况和认知能力。基于这一证据，患有痴呆症的个体可能会感觉自己年龄更大。然而，年龄的主观评估可能不会受到痴呆症的影响，因为这些个体往往没有自知力，并报告与健康相关的生活质量良好。
方法
来自法国和美国的两个横断面样本的数据被用于比较患有和未患有痴呆症个体的主观年龄评分。
结果
两个样本的结果均显示，患有痴呆症的个体感觉自己比实际年龄年轻，但与对照组相比没有差异，即使在控制了性别、实际年龄、教育程度和自我评估的健康状况之后也是如此。
结论
本研究表明，健康个体和患有痴呆症的个体在年龄的主观体验上没有很大差异。
