Aim of the study was assessment of executive functions and quality of life (QoL) among scientists aged 22-80 years working in state research centers. The screening test included several questionnairs: "Cognitive screening", "Age is not a barrier", "Geriatric Depression Scale" (GDS) and Social Functioning 36 (SF-36) survey. According to the assessment, the group of scientists showed problems related to physical health disorders and presence of numerous risk factors for professional efficiency decline. High rate of preasthenia (39.62%) and asthenia syndrome (11.32%) was identified. This might be due to high level of stress and informational load that causes depletion of functional organism reserves. The rate of cognitive executive functions decline was low (3.77%), stated in young age and possibly associated with depression and asthenia. In comparison to general population, Russian scientists showed a generally high level of quality of life (more than 70% in all domains), best indicators on the scales of "Body Pain" and "Vitality", but lower indicators of "Role functioning" due to the emotional state. In general, scientists' quality of life decreased with age, especially "Physical Functioning" and "Body Pain" scales. Social skills such as "Role functioning due to emotional state" increased with age. In the scientists group, connection between cognitive functions and the quality of life was observed. Specifically, between "Physical Functioning", "General Health", "Vitality", "Social Functioning" and "Mental Health".
本研究的目的是评估在国家研究中心工作的22至80岁科学家的执行功能和生活质量（QoL）。筛查测试包括几份问卷：“认知筛查”、“年龄不是障碍”、“老年抑郁量表”（GDS）和社会功能36项（SF-36）调查。根据评估，科学家群体存在与身体健康障碍以及职业效率下降的众多风险因素相关的问题。确定了较高的神经衰弱率（39.62%）和虚弱综合征率（11.32%）。这可能是由于高水平的压力和信息负荷导致机体功能储备耗尽。认知执行功能下降率较低（3.77%），出现在年轻时，可能与抑郁和虚弱有关。与普通人群相比，俄罗斯科学家的生活质量总体较高（所有领域超过70%），在“身体疼痛”和“活力”量表上指标最佳，但由于情绪状态，“角色功能”指标较低。总体而言，科学家的生活质量随年龄下降，尤其是“身体功能”和“身体疼痛”量表。诸如“因情绪状态导致的角色功能”等社交技能随年龄增长。在科学家群体中，观察到认知功能与生活质量之间的联系。具体而言，在“身体功能”、“总体健康”、“活力”、“社会功能”和“心理健康”之间。
