The study aims to investigate cognitive functioning and associated factors in a national general population-based sample of older Indonesians.
Participants were 1228 older adults, 65 years and older (median age 70.0 years, Interquartile Range=6.0), who took part in the cross-sectional Indonesian Family Life Survey-5 (IFLS-5) in 2014-15. They were requested to provide information about sociodemographic and various health variables, including cognitive functioning measured with items from the Telephone Survey of Cognitive Status (TICS). Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to assess the association of sociodemographic factors, health variables, and cognitive functioning.
The overall mean cognition score was 14.7 (SD=4.3) (range 0-34). In adjusted linear regression analysis, older age, having hypertension, and being underweight were negatively associated with better cognitive functioning and higher education was positively associated with better cognitive functioning.
Several sociodemographic and health risk factors for poor cognitive functioning were identified which can guide intervention strategies in Indonesia.
本研究旨在调查印度尼西亚全国老年人群体样本中的认知功能及相关因素。
参与者为1228名65岁及以上的老年人（中位年龄70.0岁，四分位间距 = 6.0），他们于2014 - 2015年参加了印度尼西亚家庭生活横断面调查 - 5（IFLS - 5）。要求他们提供社会人口统计学和各种健康变量的信息，包括通过认知状态电话调查（TICS）项目测量的认知功能。进行多变量线性回归分析以评估社会人口统计学因素、健康变量与认知功能之间的关联。
总体平均认知评分为14.7（标准差 = 4.3）（范围0 - 34）。在调整后的线性回归分析中，年龄较大、患有高血压和体重过轻与较好的认知功能呈负相关，而受教育程度较高与较好的认知功能呈正相关。
确定了几个认知功能较差的社会人口统计学和健康风险因素，可为印度尼西亚的干预策略提供指导。
