“…Herein, factors influencing cognitive function in patients with arthritis included older age, female sex, lower educational levels, and visual or hearing impairment. Older age, female sex, and lower educational level are well-known factors associated with cognitive impairment 45 . In addition, visual and hearing impairments were negatively correlated with cognitive function, supporting the results of previous studies 46 – 48 .…”

Pain is a major symptom of arthritis in older adults, often leading to frailty and cognitive decline. However, few studies have investigated the relationship among pain, frailty, and cognitive function in older adults with arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing cognitive function and the impact of frailty severity and pain on cognitive function in older adults with arthritis using a Korean population-based dataset. This cross-sectional descriptive study involved the secondary data of 1089 participants from the seventh and eighth waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging. We examined general characteristics, health behaviors, health conditions (including severe pain and frailty), and cognitive function. Participants were categorized based on the presence or absence of pain severity and frailty status as follows: robust, only severe pain, only prefrail, prefrail with severe pain, only frail, and frail with severe pain. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to establish correlations between groups and cognitive function. The only-prefrail group was the largest (19.7%) among participants experiencing either pain or frailty. Advanced age, sex, level of education, and visual and hearing impairments were significantly associated with cognitive function. Compared to the robust group, only prefrail (β = -1.54, confidence interval [CI] = − 2.33; − 0.76), prefrail with severe pain (β = − 2.69, CI = − 3.52; − 1.87), only frail (β = − 4.02, CI = − 5.08; − 2.97), and frail with severe pain (β = − 5.03, CI = − 5.99; − 4.08) groups were associated with lower Mini-Mental State Examination scores. The study confirmed that severe pain alone does not significantly impact cognitive function in older adults with arthritis. To prevent cognitive decline in this group, assessment of both pain and frailty severity is essential to predict high-risk groups and provide appropriate interventions, such as transfer to hospitals or primary clinics according to the severity of pain and frailty.

“…Poco-poco digemari oleh masyarakat luas karena diiringi dengan lagu yang menarik, nada yang mudah diingat, dan gerakan yang sederhana. [9] Hubungan senam poco-poco dan kemampuan mengingat sangat erat karena di dalam senam poco-poco terdapat bagian-bagian gerakan yang mirip dengan gerakan senam otak yang dapat mengaktifkan fungsi-fungsi sel saraf pada otak sehingga senam poco-poco dapat dijadikan salah satu upaya untuk mencegah dan memperlambat penyakit demensia terutama Demensia Alzheimer.

Dementia is a neurodegenerative syndrome caused by chronic and progressive disorders accompanied by a decline in brain function that affects emotions, memory, decision-making, behavior, and other brain functions, which disrupt daily activities. The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia may lead to more people experiencing dementia. Recent research reports that poor oral health, such as periodontitis and tooth loss, are linked to dementia. The elderly population tends to have worse dental and oral health compared to other age groups because most of them lack awareness of maintaining dental health due to a lack of education. Dementia is currently medically incurable, making prevention efforts essential. Poco-poco exercises involve movements similar to brain exercises and can help prevent dementia. The pandemic has led to reduced activity levels and fewer visits to dentists among the elderly. The objective is to prevent and slow down dementia, especially Alzheimer's dementia. There were 62 participants in the activity, and the material was presented in the form of PowerPoint and video. The implementation of dental health education and poco-poco exercise training proved to be effective, as there was an increase in the elderly's knowledge, shown by statistically significant differences and an increase in median values between pre-test and post-test results for the participants.

ObjectiveAlthough it has been suggested that a decline in oral function is one of the potential risk factors affecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI), evidence is insufficient to draw clear conclusions. This Japanese cross‐sectional study examined the association between tongue pressure (TP) and MCI in middle‐aged and older adults aged 36–84 years.MethodsStudy participants were 1019 (368 men and 651 women). TP was evaluated using a TP measurement device. The maximum value of three measurements was used for analysis. MCI was defined as being present if a participant had a Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score of <26. Adjustment was made for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, leisure‐time physical activity, body mass index, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, history of depression, number of teeth, employment, education, and household income.ResultsThe prevalence of MCI was 45.3%. Among women, compared with the lowest tertile of TP, the second and highest tertiles were significantly associated with a lower prevalence of MCI with a clear dose–response relationship; the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence intervals) in the second and highest tertiles of TP were 0.54 (0.36–0.83) and 0.55 (0.36–0.84), respectively (p for trend = 0.005). In contrast, no statistically significant association was observed between TP and the prevalence of MCI among men.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that higher TP might be inversely associated with the prevalence of MCI in middle‐aged and older Japanese women.
