“…Based on the results of this test, 113 (18.9%) participants were identified as the high-risk group, and the MMSE-DS score was lower in older adults without a spouse than the counterpart. This finding is consistent with that of a previous study [ 33 ] that older adults living alone exhibited lower MMSE-DS scores than those who did not live alone.…”

As the number of older adults with dementia increases, early diagnosis and intervention are crucially important. The purpose of this study was to conduct dementia screening on older adults to determine whether there are differences in depression, loneliness, social support, daily activities of living, and life satisfaction between older adults at high-risk for dementia compared with low-risk older adults. We hypothesized a negative relationship between high-risk older adults and these factors. This study also hypothesized a moderating effect for social support on the relationship between daily living activities and life satisfaction. This study used a cross-sectional design with survey data. Participants were recruited at 15 public community health centers in South Korea. A total of 609 older adults (male 208, female 401) living in the community were screened for early dementia, and 113 participants (18.9%) were assigned to the high-risk group. As hypothesized, participants in the high-risk group showed significantly more negative results in terms of activities of daily living, depression, loneliness, social support, and life satisfaction compared with participants in the low-risk group. The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis for the importance of early screening for dementia and policies for effective dementia prevention.

“…likely to suffer from cognitive impairment. In line with our results, existing research also found that age and gender are both positively associated with lower cognition (stronger association was found among the female respondents) [8]. However, contrary to our results, living status was found to be a significant predictor of cognitive impairment [8].…”

Using the most recent 2018 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) survey data, this study aimed to examine the key determinants of cognitive impairment (CI) and to explore the inequalities and geographic differences of CI amongst the South Korean elderly population. The findings show that being super-aged, poor general health, and lack of exercise are positively associated with CI, while household wealth, educational level, participation in social activities and regular exercise all have a significant negative effect on CI. Compared to males, female respondents are more likely to experience CI. We found little difference between the specific determinates for the two subsamples. Inequalities in the prevalence of cognitive impairment were greatest in rural areas as well as amongst the respondents living in the Chungcheong region, Seoul Metropolitan Area and the Kangwan region. The results are helpful for the early intervention and prevention strategies to tackle the cognitive impairment problems of the elderly.

“…The relationships between cognitive dysfunction, age, and education have been studied before. It has been shown that the prevalence of cognitive impairment decreased from 32.9% to 15.5% with a 3‐year increase in education time 38 . In our study, education levels of the COPD patients and the control group were similar.…”

Objective Balance and cognitive problems may develop in COPD. Studies investigating cognitive functions are mostly in elderly patients, and the number of studies on balance impairment is less than studies about cognitive dysfunction in COPD. We aimed to evaluate both balance and cognitive functions in patients with COPD under 65 years. Methods A total of 60 COPD patients and 60 healthy control group were enrolled. The patients with COPD were divided into two groups due to dyspnea severity. Demographic data and dyspnea scores of all patients were recorded. BECK depression scale, standardized Mini Mental Test (MMT), and BERG balance scale were applied to the individuals. Factors affecting BERG balance scale were evaluated. Results BERG balance scale and MMT values were found to be significantly lower in patients with COPD compared with the control group (p = 0.009). It was observed that the mean values of BERG balance scale and MMT were significantly low in the severe dyspnea group. BERG scale had significant correlations with MMT (rho = 0.331, p = 0.001), BECK (rho = −0.222, p = 0.016), age (rho = −0.318, p = 0.018), MMRC (rho = −0.368, p < 0.001), CAT (rho = −0.338, p = 0.008), FEV1% (rho = 0.307, p = 0.017), SpO2 (rho = 0.448, p < 0.001), and number of hospitalization per year (rho = −0.316, p = 0.014). According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, the effect of oxygen saturation on BERG was found to be statistically significant (B = 0.512, p = 0.008). Conclusions Balance tests in patients with COPD under the age of 65 are significantly low when compared with healthy controls at the same age. Balance and cognitive functions are significantly associated with each other. It may be beneficial to perform balance and cognitive function tests earlier even at the beginning of the treatment period of COPD, and strategies should be planned to prevent the progression of functional losses.
