Few studies have examined the association between daily physical activity and cognitive function among older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Here we evaluate the association between accelerometer-assessed physical activity and cognition among older patients with PD.
Cognition assessed via the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was assessed via accelerometry over a 1-2 week monitoring period.
After adjusting for motor impairment severity, for every 1 min/day increase in MVPA, participants had a 0.09 unit increase in MoCA-determined cognitive function (β = 0.09; 95% CI: -0.003-0.19; P = 0.05). When further adjusting for motor impairment, age and gender, results were unchanged (β = 0.09; 95% CI: 0.004-0.19; P = 0.04).
The present study provides suggestive evidence of a favorable association between daily physical activity behavior and cognitive function among adults with PD.
很少有研究探讨帕金森病(PD)老年患者的日常体力活动与认知功能之间的关系。
本研究评估了通过加速度计评估的体力活动与老年 PD 患者认知功能之间的关系。
通过蒙特利尔认知评估(MoCA)评估认知功能。在 1-2 周的监测期间,通过加速度计评估中等到剧烈的体力活动(MVPA)。
在调整运动障碍严重程度后,MVPA 每天增加 1 分钟,MoCA 测定的认知功能增加 0.09 个单位(β=0.09;95%CI:-0.003-0.19;P=0.05)。当进一步调整运动障碍、年龄和性别时,结果保持不变(β=0.09;95%CI:0.004-0.19;P=0.04)。
本研究提供了有力的证据,表明 PD 成年人的日常体力活动行为与认知功能之间存在有利关联。
