The paucity of empirical evidence supporting a correlation between the utilization of household chemicals and cognitive decline in Chinese older adults.
The data utilized for this study originated from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS 2018). Using regression models to investigate the relationship between exposure to household chemicals and cognitive decline, and evaluate the impact of different fields on cognitive function.
The use of household chemicals was associated with a decline in cognitive function (anti-caries agent, OR = 1.68, P = 0.040; air freshener, OR = 2.48, P = 0.002; disinfectant, OR = 1.40, P = 0.033). The more frequent the use of household chemicals, the worse the cognitive function (Model1: OR = 2.54, P = 0.024; Model2: OR = 3.23, P = 0.006; Model3: OR = 3.59, P = 0.003).
The study has uncovered a correlation between the utilization of household chemicals and cognitive decline in individuals aged 65 years and over in China.
支持中国老年人使用家用化学品与认知能力下降之间存在关联的实证证据匮乏。
本研究使用的数据源自中国健康与养老追踪调查(CLHLS 2018)。采用回归模型研究接触家用化学品与认知能力下降之间的关系,并评估不同领域对认知功能的影响。
使用家用化学品与认知功能下降有关(防龋剂,OR = 1.68,P = 0.040;空气清新剂,OR = 2.48,P = 0.002;消毒剂,OR = 1.40,P = 0.033)。家用化学品使用频率越高,认知功能越差(模型1:OR = 2.54,P = 0.024;模型2:OR = 3.23,P = 0.006;模型3:OR = 3.59,P = 0.003)。
该研究揭示了中国65岁及以上人群使用家用化学品与认知能力下降之间的关联。
