BACKGROUND
Centenarians are a growing population in Europe and present significant variability in motor and cognitive functions. The aim of our study was to characterize health status, as well as cognitive and motor functions in a group of Portuguese centenarians. In addition, our study also aimed at analyzing the relationship between cognitive functions and the burden of diseases affecting the elderly.
METHODS
Fifty-two centenarians were evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination, short version. Walking-related parameters (velocity and time spent in the 3 m walk test), grip strength and number of age-related illnesses were also measured. The relationship between cognitive scores and time spent in the three metre walk test, velocity, grip strength and number of diseases was analysed.
RESULTS
Cognitive scores showed a positive correlation with both handgrip strength and time spent in the three metre walk. In contrast, no association was found between cognitive scores and the presence/absence of disease, walking velocity or number of diseases present.
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that in centenarians, cognitive functions may be related with motor functions.
背景
在欧洲，百岁老人的数量日益增加，其运动和认知功能存在显著差异。我们研究的目的是描述一组葡萄牙百岁老人的健康状况以及认知和运动功能。此外，我们的研究还旨在分析认知功能与影响老年人的疾病负担之间的关系。
方法
使用简易精神状态检查表简版对52名百岁老人进行评估。还测量了与行走相关的参数（速度和3米步行测试所用时间）、握力以及与年龄相关的疾病数量。分析了认知分数与3米步行测试所用时间、速度、握力和疾病数量之间的关系。
结果
认知分数与握力和3米步行所用时间均呈正相关。相比之下，未发现认知分数与疾病的有无、行走速度或疾病数量之间存在关联。
结论
这些结果表明，在百岁老人中，认知功能可能与运动功能有关。
