“…The results of this study are lower than those of Seo and So [28], a study of elderly residents in a town, and are similar to those of Kim and Park [29], research of elderly people aged 65 and over in urban areas [28,29]. The subjects of Seo and So [28] were composed of 58.4% of high-risk frail older people and 49.4% of older people requiring the care by the visiting health care center, and their health status was worse than that of the subjects of this study, which is thought to be the reason why the level of depression was lower in this study [28]. The scores for cognitive function were 25.18 points in males and 23.53 points in females, with an average of 23.88 points, indicating a steady state without cognitive impairment.…”

“…These results showed that an intervention program for depression is needed for females in the poor heath condition. The results of this study were consistent with the results of Seo and So [28], Kim and Park [29], and Won and Kim [30]. However, Won and Kim [30] and Seo and So [28] reported that significant differences according to the educational level were also observed.…”

However, Won and Kim [30] and Seo and So [28] reported that significant differences according to the educational level were also observed. This difference in the study results may be attributed to the differences in the categories for classifying the educational levels and in the educational levels of the subjects between the studies [28,30].…”

“…However, Won and Kim [30] and Seo and So [28] reported that significant differences according to the educational level were also observed. This difference in the study results may be attributed to the differences in the categories for classifying the educational levels and in the educational levels of the subjects between the studies [28,30]. For differences in the cognitive functions depending on the demographic characteristics of the subjects, there was a statistically significant difference according to age and the educational level; the higher the age and the lower the level of education, the lower the cognitive function.…”

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of vitamin D and calcium on depression and cognitive function of the elderly living alone in a city. Methods: The participants were registered in eight senior centers in S city and they had lived alone. Data were collected between November 28, 2014 and March 7, 2015. A total of 155 people participated in data collection to measure the serum vitamin D, the serum calcium, depression, and cognitive function. The data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results: There were significant differences in depression according to gender and perceptions of health status. Depression correlated significantly with the serum calcium and perceptions of health status, and a stepwise regression analysis showed that the perceptions of health status were significant. There were significant differences in cognitive function according to education level and age. Cognitive function correlated significantly with the serum vitamin D and a stepwise regression analysis showed that education level and age were significant. Conclusion: Consequently, elderly people with poor perceptions of their health status need a depressive intervention program and those with a higher age and lower level of education need a cognitive function intervention program.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the cognitive function of the elderly over time and to identify factors affecting the cognitive decline by dividing them into multidimensional factors such as socio-demographic factors, physical and mental health factors, hearing factors, and social contact factors.Methods: This study used the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA). A multilevel growth model analysis was conducted on 992 elderly people aged 60 or older who had been measured repeatedly seven times from 2006 to 2018.Results: First, the results showed that the cognitive function of the elderly decreased linearly over the years. Second, the initial status of cognitive function decreased as the age increased and as education level and economic condition decreased. The change rate of the cognitive function increased as education level increased. Third, at each time point, depression level had a negative effect on cognitive function, and subjective hearing condition had a negative effect on cognitive function. These influences decreased over time.Conclusion: The lower the education level, the higher the depression level; and the worse the subjective hearing condition, the more likely the elderly are to experience cognitive decline. Because the impact on cognitive function is large in the early stages of depression and hearing loss, it is necessary to detect them early and to make appropriate intervention to prevent cognitive decline.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the depression, happiness on aging, self-esteem, life satisfaction and disability of daily living activity level of the elderly people, and to analyze the variables to impact on their depression. The study data were analyzed descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The most influential variables on the elderly depression were self-esteem with 27.9% of explanatory power (β=-.318, p<.001), followed by life satisfaction with 5.5%(β=-.248, p<.001), happiness on aging 4.1%((β=-.200, p<.001), disability of daily living activity 1.6%(β=.128, p=.026), and 4 variables explaining 39.1% of the elderly depression. Therefore it is necessary to develop specific education programs to reduce depression and to improve self-esteem and happiness on aging of the elderly.
