<p class="AbstractNormal"><strong>Pendahuluan: </strong>Penurunan fungsi kognitif merupakan penyebab utama disabilitas dan ketergantungan akan perawatan lansia. Pemeriksaan dengan pencitraan memungkinkan kita untuk mengetahui perubahan struktural otak yang dapat menjadi prediktor munculnya demensia. Penelitian mengenai topik ini masih jarang dilakukan di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk mempelajari hubungan antara hasil penilaian fungsi kognitif dengan <em>mini mental state examination</em> (MMSE) dan hasil CT scan kepala pasien lansia, yang distandarisasi dengan kriteria penilaian skala <em>global cortical atrophy </em>(GCA).</p><p class="AbstractNormal"><strong>Metode:</strong><strong> </strong>Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode observasi. Populasi yang diteliti merupakan pasien yang berusia ≥60 tahun, menjalani pemeriksaan CT scan kepala pada tahun 2021, dan mampu menjalani pemeriksaan MMSE selama periode pengambilan data penelitian. Sampel diambil dengan <em>the</em> <em>rule of thumb </em>sebanyak 30 orang. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Rank Spearman.</p><p class="AbstractNormal"><strong>Hasil:</strong><strong> </strong>Penelitian ini diikuti oleh 18 pasien perempuan dan 12 pasien laki-laki. Sebagian besar pasien memiliki fungsi kognitif yang normal dengan rata-rata skor MMSE 26 (±3,42) dan skala GCA 1 - 2. Terdapat korelasi negatif yang signifikan secara statistik (r=-0,546/p&lt;0,002) antara fungsi kognitif berdasarkan skor MMSE dengan hasil pemeriksaan CT scan kepala pasien lansia.</p><strong>Kesimpulan: </strong>Terdapat hubungan negatif berkekuatan moderat antara fungsi kognitif berdasarkan skor MMSE dengan hasil pemeriksaan CT scan kepala pasien lansia.

Junk food has become part of the lifestyle of today's society. People choose junk food because it is practical and tastes good. Junk food is available in various kinds of food and beverage products that are packaged and advertised attractively. However, junk food does not provide balanced nutritional content. Junk food contains calories that exceed the daily needs of the body, but lack of other nutritional necessities, such as vitamins and minerals. The excessive consumption of junk food in the long term might increase the risk of various non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, organ dysfunction, and diabetes. Many kinds of methods can be done to reduce junk food consumption, for examples, limiting junk food purchase, eating fruits and vegetables, increasing mineral water consumption, fasting, and etcetera. Even so, people still experience many challenges in their efforts to go on healthier eating patterns, for instances, the temptations from the surrounding environment, too many activities, lack of self-discipline, and limited food choices.
