“…A score of 24 points or more indicates normal cognition, ≥18 to ≤23 points indicate MCI, and ≤17 points indicate dementia. In terms of reliability, the K‐MMSE had Cronbach's α of 0.90 in a recent study (Jung et al, 2021 ) and 0.74 in this study.…”

Aim To examine self‐care behaviours among older adults with hypertension and identify related factors, including cognitive function, religious belief and comorbidities. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods Self‐care behaviours included diet and health. Participants completed a survey including items on demographics, disease‐related characteristics and self‐care behaviours and underwent cognitive function tests. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and multiple regression analysis was performed to analyse the factors affecting self‐care. Results Regarding diet behaviour, older religious adults and those with higher scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment‐Korean version had higher levels of self‐care scores according to the HBP‐SC. Regarding health behaviour, older adults with no comorbidities had higher levels of self‐care scores according to the HBP‐SC. Conclusion Factors affecting self‐care diet behaviour include religion and Montreal Cognitive Assessment‐Korean version scores and those affecting health behaviour include comorbidities among older adults with hypertension. Therefore, to improve their self‐care behaviours, their religious practices and comorbidities should be considered, cognitive function should be assessed, and tailored education should be provided. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care This study investigated factors affecting self‐care behaviours of hypertensive older adults in South Korea. The self‐care was divided into diet and health behaviours. The factors influencing diet behaviour were religion and Montreal Cognitive Assessment‐Korean version scores, and the factor influencing health behaviour was comorbidities. We also investigated self‐care behaviour patterns. Older adults with hypertension were good at controlling alcohol consumption and did not forget to fill prescriptions. However, they were poor at reading nutrition labels to check on sodium content and checking blood pressure at home. Therefore, nurses could develop interventions considering these influencing factors and behavioural patterns to improve self‐care behaviours and enhance health for older adults with hypertension. Impact Hypertension in older adults affects their health conditions and performance of self‐care behaviours. Nurses could assess self‐care based on diet and health behaviours. Additionally, further developing tailored programmes is recommended considering factors like religious belief, cognitive function and comorbidities. Reporting Method This study followed the STROBE guidelines. Patient or Public Contribution This study used a convenience sample of 105 participants aged ≥ 65 years recruited from a Korean hospital.

“…Specific decline in frontal lobe function has been shown to correlate with the BMI, fitting with the potential sweet food preference that can be observed in frontal executive dysfunction (202) . Cognitive impairment as it progresses becomes a risk factor for becoming dependent on others for food intake (203) . Individuals are less likely to ask for food and less likely to be able to physically prepare or access food at will due to motor disability in PD, especially in an environment that is unfamiliar such as physical care settings.…”

Parkinson's disease: the nutrition perspective

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease and affects about 1% of the population over the age of 60 years in industrialised countries. The aim of this review is to examine nutrition in PD across three domains: dietary intake and the development of PD; whole body metabolism in PD and the effects of PD symptoms and treatment on nutritional status. In most cases, PD is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors and although there has been much research in the area, evidence suggests that poor dietary intake is not a risk factor for the development of PD. The evidence about body weight changes in both the prodromal and symptomatic phases of PD is inconclusive and is confounded by many factors. Malnutrition in PD has been documented as has sarcopaenia, although the prevalence of the latter remains uncertain due to a lack of consensus in the definition of sarcopaenia. PD symptoms, including those which are gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal, are known to adversely affect nutritional status. Similarly, PD treatments can cause nausea, vomiting and constipation, all of which can adversely affect nutritional status. Given that the prevalence of PD will increase as the population ages, it is important to understand the interplay between PD, comorbidities and nutritional status. Further research may contribute to the development of interventional strategies to improve symptoms, augment care and importantly, enhance the quality of life for patients living with this complex neurodegenerative disease.

“…Cognitive function is crucial for maintaining the independence of older adults. 1 With the global population aging, the number of cognitive impairment among older adults is increasing. According to a national epidemiological study, the prevalence of dementia was reported to be 6.0% and mild cognitive impairment was 15.5% among Chinese older adults aged 60 years and above.…”

Objectives To examine the relationship between hearing impairment and cognitive function and the mediating role of social isolation and depression. Methods: Data came from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study wave. A self-reported item, a composite index, the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Mini-Mental State Exam were used to measure hearing impairment, social isolation, depression, and cognitive function, respectively. Mediation analysis was performed. Results: 6799 participants were included. For participants reporting mild hearing impairment and severe hearing impairment, there were significant direct and indirect effects on cognitive function. Social isolation mediated 2.75% and 6.33% of the relationship between mild hearing impairment, severe hearing impairment, and cognitive function, respectively. The direct effect of hearing impairment outweighed the mediation effect of social isolation on cognitive function. Conclusions: Decreased cognitive function linked to hearing impairment might benefit from addressing hearing impairment and social isolation in older adults.
