“…Cognitive decline is commonly detected at middle age, and from that point onwards age-related decline is the rule [2]. There is little research on cognitive functioning in the general population among older adults in Indonesia [3–5].…”

Objective. The study aims to investigate cognitive functioning and associated factors in a national general population-based sample of older Indonesians. Methods. Participants were 1228 older adults, 65 years and older (median age 70.0 years, Interquartile Range=6.0), who took part in the cross-sectional Indonesian Family Life Survey-5 (IFLS-5) in 2014-15. They were requested to provide information about sociodemographic and various health variables, including cognitive functioning measured with items from the Telephone Survey of Cognitive Status (TICS). Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to assess the association of sociodemographic factors, health variables, and cognitive functioning. Results. The overall mean cognition score was 14.7 (SD=4.3) (range 0-34). In adjusted linear regression analysis, older age, having hypertension, and being underweight were negatively associated with better cognitive functioning and higher education was positively associated with better cognitive functioning. Conclusion. Several sociodemographic and health risk factors for poor cognitive functioning were identified which can guide intervention strategies in Indonesia.

“…Shorter periods of education and illiteracy were related to declines in cognitive functioning in both community-and institutional-dwelling older people. The protective benefits of education and literacy on cognitive performance have been demonstrated in several studies 6,7,17 . Poorer cognitive functioning among lower educated and illiterate older adults is possibly due to the fact that they are relatively lacking in cognitive stimulation.…”

“…Regarding living arrangement, most of the older people in Indonesia lived in a multigenerational household and only a minority lived in institutional settings 15 . Few studies have examined the cognitive functioning of older people in Indonesia 16,17 . However, there is a lack of studies comparing the cognitive function of older adults across the different living settings.…”

The demographic phenomenon of population aging has brought some consequences, including a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment. Objective: This study aimed to assess and compare cognitive impairment and its risk factors between older persons living in the community and in nursing home in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed among 99 older adults living in the community and 49 nursing home residents. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results: Older people living in the community showed a higher score on MMSE than those living in nursing home (p=0.044). Age, marital status, education level, and literacy status were significantly related to the cognitive function of older adults living in the community (p=0.003, p=0.007, p=0.005, p=0.001, respectively), while gender, education level, and literacy status were significantly related to that of nursing home residents (p=0.012, p=0.004, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Older adults living in the nursing home were more likely to experience cognitive decline than their counterparts in the community. Factors associated with cognitive decline differ between community-dwelling older adults and nursing home residents.

Background: Dementia prevalence among Indonesian older people is increasing. Community health centers (CHCs) as primary care providers have a responsibility to meet the need of their community. This study aims to measure the response of CHCs to the growing of dementia cases and to investigate factors associated with the knowledge of CHC staff on dementia symptoms in Special Region of Yogyakarta (DI Yogyakarta), Indonesia. Design and methods: This study used a cross-sectional design to obtain census data from 121 CHCs in DI Yogyakarta by interviewing 121 older person program managers of the CHCs via telephone between January and February 2021. Data on knowledge of 10 dementia symptoms, participation in dementia prevention and treatment with dementia, dementia/cognitive screening and coverage as well as factors associated with memory loss and change in mood and behavior were assessed. Data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression. Results: The knowledge of dementia symptoms among health workers was low (15%–37%). CHCs had not yet received training on dementia prevention and treatment (58%). Only a few of CHCs treated patient with dementia (36%). Dementia screening and coverage were also low. Engaged in dementia training were more likely to have higher knowledge of dementia symptoms, particularly memory loss and changes in mood and behavior. Conclusions: Dementia training and education are needed to increase knowledge among care providers which would eventually improve CHC response to dementia. Priority should also be in place to support dementia care management.
