Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is one of the most common complaints in older adults and may increase risk factors for dementia. Therefore, it is important to identify and manage risk factors for subjective cognitive function (SCF).
This study aimed to investigate factors influencing SCF in community-dwelling older adults.
With a cross-sectional research design, 164 older adults responded to questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 23.0.
Participating in religious activities, sleeping well, a lower number of comorbidities, better perceived health status, lower depression, and higher self-esteem were associated with better SCF. Overall, approximately 24.9% of the variability in SCF was explained by perceived health status, religion, and depression.
Multifaceted aspects must be considered when developing interventions to improve SCF in community-dwelling older adults who complain of experiencing SCD.
主观认知衰退(SCD)是老年人最常见的主诉之一,并且可能增加痴呆的风险因素。因此,识别和管理主观认知功能(SCF)的风险因素非常重要。
本研究旨在探讨影响社区居住的老年人 SCF 的因素。
采用横断面研究设计,164 名老年人回答了问卷。使用 SPSS 23.0 进行描述性统计、独立 t 检验、单因素方差分析、Scheffé 检验、皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归分析。
参加宗教活动、睡眠良好、较少的合并症、更好的健康感知、较低的抑郁和较高的自尊心与更好的 SCF 相关。总体而言,健康感知、宗教和抑郁可以解释 SCF 变化的约 24.9%。
在制定干预措施以改善抱怨出现 SCD 的社区居住老年人的 SCF 时,必须考虑多方面的因素。
