Depression, Loneliness, Social Support, Activities of Daily Living, and Life Satisfaction in Older Adults at High-Risk of Dementia

Abstract: 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 … Show more

“…On the other hand, it can be reaped from the model that mental health promoted life satisfaction, which was consistent to other studies [ 12 , 41 , 43 ]. Worse mental health in older adults, such as depression, manifests in physical symptoms, such as loss of appetite, lack of motivation and sleep disturbances.…”

“…The main limitation is the cross-sectional design which makes it impossible to determine the directionality of our findings. Depression or anxiety can have positive or negative effects on food intake (50,51). Thus, we cannot discount the possibility of a reverse association in which depression and anxiety may interfere with dietary diversity (52).…”

“…Second, maintaining muscle mass and strength itself may minimize or counteract the risk of late-in-life depression [ 49 ]. For example, strong muscle strength is associated with physical independence, fewer difficulties performing daily activities, lower risk for experiencing physical disabilities, and better quality of life [ 50 , 51 ]. Furthermore, muscle contraction has an anti-depressant effect by suppressing pro-inflammatory responses (i.e., decreased levels of circulating tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin 6) while enhancing anti-inflammatory responses (i.e., increased levels of circulating interleukin-10 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor) [ 52 , 53 ].…”
