“…In addition, based on the results of logistic regression analysis, subjective and objective physical function did not affect the presence or absence of SCD. A previous multivariate analysis showed no relationships between objective physical function, such as mobility and muscular strength, and SCD [24], which is consistent with the findings of the present study. However, we should conduct a multivariate analysis in the future to confirm these findings.…”

“…The result of a comparison between the groups with and without SCD was that there were significant inter-group differences in objective mental function (MMSE and GDS-5), objective physical function (TUG and knee extension strength), and subjective mental function (MCS). Significant differences between the SCD and non-SCD groups in cognitive function [12,13], depressive symptoms [19,21], and physical function such as mobility and muscular strength [24,25], have been reported in previous studies. In addition, subjective mental function (MCS) is associated with unidentified complaints related to cognitive function in older adults [27] and a decrease in MCS is characteristic of SCD [26].…”

“…This assessment tool is valid [43] and reliable In the interview about SCD, subjects were asked three questions from the Cognitive Function section of the Kihon Checklist (KCL-CF), which is a self-declaration questionnaire on frailty. Its validity [24,31] and reliability [32] have been established. The questions are as follows [32]: "Do your family or your friends point out your memory loss?…”

“…Thus, it is considered an indicator of abnormal cognitive decline. In addition to objective mental function-which includes cognitive function [12,13], depression [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], and anxiety [12,13,22,23]-there are other factors associated with SCD which include objective physical function [24,25], subjective mental function [26,27], and subjective physical function [28,29], as well as age [15] and educational history [15]. SCD is thus complex and is not fully understood [28].…”

Subjective and Objective Mental and Physical Functions Affect Subjective Cognitive Decline in Community-Dwelling Elderly Japanese People

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is complex and not well understood, especially among Japanese people. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the relationships of subjective and objective mental and physical function with SCD among older community-dwelling Japanese adults. SCD was evaluated using the Kihon Checklist: Cognitive Function. Other parameters were evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the five-item version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-5), for an objective mental function other than SCD. A timed up-and-go test (TUG) and knee extension strength were used to test objective physical function, and the Mental Component Summary (MCS) and Physical Component Summary (PCS) in the Health-Related Quality of Life survey eight-item short form (SF-8) were used for subjective mental and physical functions. The results of the MMSE, GDS-5, TUG, knee extension strength, and MCS were significantly worse in the SCD group. In addition, logistic regression analysis showed that GDS-5 and MCS were associated with SCD onset. Depressive symptoms and decreased subjective mental function contribute to SCD among community-dwelling Japanese adults. These findings will be useful for planning dementia prevention and intervention programs for older Japanese adults.

“…The physical function of the participants was evaluated using the physical strength subscale of the Kihon Checklist (Fukutomi et al, 2013), which is a comprehensive self-report health checklist designed by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The physical strength subscale has been shown to be a valid instrument for assessing physical function in older adults (Hirose et al, 2017). The subscale's five items are as follows: (a) "Do you normally climb stairs without support from handrails or a wall?"…”

Background: Social relationships are associated with physical function. However, little scholarly attention has been focused on the effect of changing social factors on physical function.Purpose: This study was designed to examine the effects on physical function of changes in social relationships in adults aged 65 years and older.Methods: This study is part of a longitudinal, prospective cohort study that was conducted on community-dwelling older adults in a suburban area of central Japan. Baseline self-report data were collected in 2011, and a follow-up survey was conducted in 2017. Social relationships were assessed using the Index of Social Interaction, and physical function was evaluated using a subscale of the Kihon Checklist. Chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to analyze data from 442 older adults who were functionally independent at baseline. Results: After controlling for covariates in 2011, negative changes in social relationships (odds ratio [OR] = 3.20, 95% CI [1.18, 8.69]) were found to be associated with physical function decline. Moreover, 1-point increases in the different social-relationship values between baseline and follow-up were associated with protective effects against functional decline (OR = 0.71, 95% CI [0.63, 0.80]). Furthermore, median trends between baseline and follow-up revealed associations between decreasing (OR = 4.18, 95% CI [1.53, 11.39]) and continuously low (OR = 2.98, 95% CI [1.42, 6.28]) social relationships and physical function decline.Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The findings support a strong association between negative changes in social relationships and physical function decline and highlight the importance of promoting social relationships to delay physical function decline in older adults.

Abstract* Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had significant impacts worldwide, especially among older adults. Frailty is a determinant of susceptibility to morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 in the elderly. This study aimed to determine frailty status and identify factors associated with the suburban elderly population in Cirebon Regency, Indonesia, after the one-year COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional study of community-dwelling individuals aged ≥ 60 years was conducted in Klangenan, Cirebon Regency, Indonesia, from March to June 2021. A questionnaire was used to determine the baseline characteristics of participants, healthcare access, comorbidity, and frailty status. The Ina-FRAIL scale was used to determine the frailty status (frail/non-frail). The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the association between independent variables and frailty. Results A total of 383 participants were recruited, with a median age of 67 (64-73) years. The prevalence of frailty in the present study was 10.2%. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR 2.72; 95%CI 1.21-6.12), multimorbidity (OR 7.86; 95% CI 3.00-20.57) and financial dependence (OR 13.39, 95% CI 5.66-31.73) were significantly associated with frailty. Conclusion One-year COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on frailty among the suburban elderly population in Indonesia. The factors associated with frailty were age, multimorbidity, and financial dependence.
