BACKGROUND
The relationship between healthy and positive aging and dementia and cognitive impairment has received limited attention in the field of aging. Affect impacts cognitive changes and processes, and cognitive impairment is associated with affective comorbidities. The purpose of the study was to examine (a) whether happiness, helplessness, and hopelessness are linked to cognitive health status, and (b) whether these associations differ by race.
METHODS
Participants were enrollees in the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center's Clinical Core (ADRC). Average age at baseline was 60.85 ( = 8.65), 73.70 ( = 8.02), and 73.80 ( = 9.59) years for cognitively normal individuals, individuals with MCI, and individuals with dementia, respectively.
RESULTS
In the full sample, chi-square test results revealed associations between Cognitive Health Status (CHS) and (a) happiness, χ(2) = 6.06, < 0.05, (b) helplessness, χ(2) = 6.44, < 0.05, and (c) hopelessness, χ(2) = 14.11, < 0.01.
CONCLUSION
This study provides support for the association of both positive and negative affect with cognitive health status in middle- to older-aged adults.
背景
健康且积极的老龄化与痴呆症及认知障碍之间的关系在老龄化领域受到的关注有限。情感会影响认知变化和过程，且认知障碍与情感共病相关。本研究的目的是检验：（a）幸福、无助和绝望是否与认知健康状况相关；（b）这些关联是否因种族而异。
方法
参与者为威斯康星州阿尔茨海默病研究中心临床核心（ADRC）的登记入组者。认知正常个体、轻度认知障碍个体和痴呆症个体在基线时的平均年龄分别为60.85（标准差 = 8.65）岁、73.70（标准差 = 8.02）岁和73.80（标准差 = 9.59）岁。
结果
在全样本中，卡方检验结果显示认知健康状况（CHS）与以下因素之间存在关联：（a）幸福，χ(2) = 6.06，P < 0.05；（b）无助，χ(２) = 6.44，P < 0.05；（c）绝望，χ(2) = 14.11，P < 0.01。
结论
本研究为中老年成年人中积极和消极情感与认知健康状况之间的关联提供了支持。
