“…The other study used the Alzheimer's Disease related QoL (Rabins, Kasper, Kleinman, Black, & Patrick, 1999), which reflects caregiver judgments about the patient's social interaction, awareness of self, feelings and mood, enjoyment of activities, and response to surroundings; and since it tackles rather basic behaviors of the patient, it may not be sensitive to early phases of cognitive decline. Still another study found in patients with MCI differences in one domain, psychological QoL, but not in other domains or in total score of the self-reported World Health Organization QoL scale (Muangpaisan et al, 2008).…”

“…It is controversial whether QoL is already disturbed in more initial phases of cognitive decline, like Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a clinical entity now accepted in both clinical practice and research that entails a high risk of progression to dementia. Some researchers found that QoL is not affected in MCI patients (Missotten et al, 2008;Ready et al, 2004) while other detected that some aspects of QoL are altered (Muangpaisan, Assantachai, Intalapaporn, & Pisansalakij, 2008).…”

Background: Quality of life (QoL) is affected in patients with dementia, but it is not clear whether it is already disturbed in more initial phases of cognitive decline, like Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Aim: Compare the QoL in MCI patients with controls without cognitive impairment, and ascertain whether there are differences in the reports of QoL made by the subjects and by their informants. Methods: Two hundred participants were enrolled, divided into MCI patients (n ¼ 50), MCI informants (n ¼ 50), recruited from a memory clinic and a dementia outpatient clinic, and controls (n ¼ 50) and controls informants (n ¼ 50), recruited in a family practice clinic. QoL was assessed with the QoL in Alzheimer disease (QOL-AD) scale. Results: The total scores of the QOL-AD questionnaire were 32.1 � 6.9 for MCI patients self-report, 27.2 � 6.7 for MCI patients in the opinion of their informants, 35.3 � 4.9 for controls self-report and 35.6 � 4.9 for controls in the opinion of their informants. MCI patients had lower QOL-AD scores than controls. The QoL reported by patients with MCI was more favorable than the opinion of their informants. Conclusion: The QoL is affected at early stages of cognitive decline. The QoL reported by patients with MCI is better than the opinion of their informants, similarly to what is known in Alzheimer's disease patients. QoL appears to be an important domain to be evaluated in aging studies.

“…In general, persons with MCI report more difficulties than healthy elderly individuals with engaging in social conversation, telephone use, finding belongings, grocery shopping, driving, and medication management (Aretouli & Brandt, 2009; Muangpaisan, Assantachai, Intalapaporn, & Pisansalakij, 2008; Kim et al, 2009; Peres et al, 2006; Ryu, Ha, Park, Yu, & Livingston, 2010; Schmitter-Edgecombe, Woo, & Greeley, 2009; Wadley et al, 2008). Psychological well-being has been examined in four studies of people with MCI and has included measures of life satisfaction, mastery, affect, and social interaction (Ready, Ott, & Grace, 2004).…”

“…Muangpaisan et al 32 empregaram o mesmo questionário de QV e observaram que os idosos tailandeses da comunidade, com deficiência cognitiva leve, apresentaram piores escores apenas no domínio psicológico de QV quando comparados a idosos sem essa afecção. Os piores escores na EDG dos idosos com a deficiência cognitiva leve se associaram aos piores escores nos domínios físico e psicológico do WHOQOL-Bref, assim como ser mais velho (70 e mais anos) correlacionou-se ao domínio físico e viver só, ao domínio relações sociais.…”

Notou-se, neste estudo, que os idosos com afecções musculoesqueléticas apresentaram prejuízo na QV em todos os domínios avaliados pelo WHOQOL-Bref, provavelmente porque elas podem impedir ou limitar as atividades dos idosos, dificultando o sair de casa para consultas médicas ou atividades de lazer.…”

Objective: To evaluate the quality of life of elderly patients in home care. Method: Analytical cross-sectional study. Elderly patients of a home care program were assessed regarding socio-demographic, clinical, functional data and quality of life by the WHOQOL-Bref. Elderly people with cognitive and/or severe hearing deficits were excluded from the study. The T-Student, ANOVA and Pearson's Correlation tests were used to investigate the association between the WHOQOLBref and the variables (α=0.05). Results: The sample comprised 23 elderly patients, mostly female (69.6%), with mean age of 84.22±7.89 years. The number of comorbidities found was 7.13±2.32. The mean time of functional dependence was 3.48±2.5 years. The variables that presented significant association with the WHOQOL-Bref domains were: depressive symptoms (p<0.001), number of illnesses (p=0.037) and functional capacity (p=0.019) with the physical domain; age (p=0.015), functional capacity (p=0.004), number of drugs (p=0.037) and depressive symptoms (p=0.002) with the psychological domain; age (p=0.002), depressive symptoms (p=0.002), number of illnesses (p=0.010) with the environment domain; psychiatric affections (p=0.016) and functional capacity (p=0.001) with the social relationships domain; and pain complaint (p=0.002), analogical visual scale of pain (p=0.021), number of drugs (p=0.002) and depressive symptoms (p=0.050) with the overall domain ("overall"). Conclusion: Factors that negatively influence the QoL of elderly patients in HC are: young elderly, high intensity pain complaint, poly-pharmacotherapy, high number of illnesses, presence of depressive symptoms and other psychiatric affections, and functional deficit.

Quality of life of the community‐based patients with mild cognitive impairment

Abstract: The MCI patients had poorer psychological QOL than normal subjects. Low education, poor financial status, living alone and depressive symptoms had an influence on the quality of life.
