Older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment can have chronic conditions and lifestyle factors that influence health. Sedentary behavior is common in older adults with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of the current study was to determine the differences in sedentary behavior for older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment with and without CKD. Our study evaluated 48 older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment with and without CKD who underwent assessment of sedentary behavior via accelerometry. We found that older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment with and without CKD were sedentary, but there were no significant differences between groups. Fragmentation index was different ( < 0.05), with a lower fragmentation index found in those with CKD. Sedentary behavior should be assessed and evaluated as a potential target for interventions to improve health in these at-risk older adults; however, further investigation is needed. [(6), 35-42.].
患有临床前认知障碍的老年人可能患有影响健康的慢性疾病和生活方式因素。久坐行为在患有和不患有慢性肾脏病 (CKD) 的老年人中都很常见。本研究的目的是确定患有和不患有 CKD 的临床前认知障碍老年人之间的久坐行为差异。我们的研究评估了 48 名患有临床前认知障碍且患有和不患有 CKD 的老年人,他们通过加速度计评估久坐行为。我们发现,患有和不患有 CKD 的临床前认知障碍老年人都久坐不动,但两组之间没有显著差异。碎片化指数不同(<0.05),CKD 患者的碎片化指数较低。应该评估和评估久坐行为,作为改善这些高危老年人健康的潜在干预目标;但是,还需要进一步的研究。[(6),35-42.]。
