ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the trend and hotspots of the research on cognitive frailty in China and abroad through literature visualization analysis.Methods:Literature related to cognitive frailty were retrieved from the databases of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Web of Science from January 1, 2013 to August 31, 2022 with"cognitive frailty""cognitive decline"and"cognitive impairment"as retrieval terms. Based on the visualization software CiteSpace and VOSviewer, the network map analysis was conducted on the number of publications, journal distribution, country distribution and cooperation, institution distribution and cooperation and research hotspots.Results:A total of 2 500 literatures were retrieved, including 151 in Chinese and 2 349 in English. The number of publications showed an increasing trend with time. Among Chinese journals, Chin J Mod Nurs published the most literature (10 articles), while BMC Geriatr published the most literature (105 articles) in English journals. The top 5 countries in the number of English literature published were the United States (608 articles), the United Kingdom (295 articles), Italy (271 articles), China (252 articles) and Canada (195 articles). The top 5 institutions in the number of Chinese literature published were Fudan University (12 articles), Capital Medical University (10 articles), Zhengzhou University (7 articles), Central South University (5 articles) and Huazhong University of Science and Technology (5 articles). The National Center For Geriatrics Gerontology in Japan published the most English articles (74 articles). A total of 22 Chinese keywords and 44 English keywords were included. The nodes of the network analysis diagram were closely connected and highly centralized. The Chinese and English keywords“cognitive frailty”“elderly”and“frailty”were all in the core position. The Chinese emergent words were“cognitive frailty”“heart failure”“chronic disease”and“risk prediction”. The English burst terms were“cognitive frailty”“questionnaire”“cohort study”“social isolation”and“prevention”. Conclusions:The research popularity in the field of cognitive frailty is increasing year by year, and the number of articles published in English is higher than those in Chinese. At present, the main research focus is cognitive frailty, the elderly and frailty with great differences between China and abroad.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To retrieve, evaluate and summarize the best evidence of exercise reversal intervention in the elderly with cognitive frailty, and to provide evidence for guiding exercise in elderly patients.Methods:This study was a summary of evidence-based nursing evidence. Based on the PIPOST (P: Population; I: Intervention; P: Professional; O: Outcome; S: Setting; T: Type of evidence) mode, the evidence of exercise reversal intervention in the elderly with cognitive frailty in 25 relevant guideline network and association websites, Chinese and foreign language comprehensive databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Database, China National Knowledge Internet and others were searched, extracted and integrated. The retrieval time was from January 1, 2013 to February 14, 2022.Results:A total of 22 articles were included, including 3 guidelines, 2 expert consensuses, 1 clinical decision-making, 1 evidence summary, 9 Meta analysis, and 6 randomized controlled trials. Finally, 28 pieces of the best evidence including 7 dimensions were namely formulate principles,overall assessment, exercise mode, exercise intensity, exercise time and frequency, exercise management, health guidance.Conclusions:This study summarized the best evidence of exercise intervention in the elderly with cognitive frailty, which are systematic, comprehensive, rigorous, and reliable. It can provide references for healthcare administrators to dynamically evaluate patients′cognitive frailty status, formulate personalized exercise programs, and standardize exercise guidance for patients, so as to delay or even reverse cognitive frailty.
ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: Dietary inflammation is a significant risk factor for age-related cognitive impairments among older adults. However, information related to the relationship between Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index (eDII) score and cognitive frailty (CF) among Malaysian community-dwelling older adults is still limited. The objective of this study is to determine the association between dietary inflammatory risk and CF among community-dwelling older adults. Method: This is a cross sectional study involving community-dwelling older adults in Klang Valley. The Fried’s Criteria and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) were used to determine CF status. Subjects were also interviewed using the Dietary History Questionnaire (DHQ) and eDII food checklist to assess the food intake and dietary inflammatory risk. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Results: A total of 158 older adults (66.7 ± 5.2 years old) residing in Klang Valley were involved. Energy and macronutrients have a weak positive association with pro-inflammatory score (p<0.05). There is no significant mean difference between CF older adults consumed a more pro-inflammatory diet (mean 2.07 ± 1.10) compared to non CF (mean 2.06 ± 1.14). However, white rice food item significantly consumed by CF people (22.4%) than non CF (8.5%) (p<0.05). Conclusion: CF older adults were more likely to consume a pro-inflammatory diet particularly from the rice food group. There is a need to further assess the risk of consuming a pro-inflammatory diet using larger sample size and appropriate biomarkers.
ABSTRACT
Cognitive frailty is a state of weakness and mild cognitive impairment in patients without dementia.It directly affects the health of patients with cardiovascular disease, increasing disability risk and reducing quality of life.This article reviews the concept, assessment, epidemiology, prognosis, mechanisms and intervention of cognitive frailty in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease.
ABSTRACT
The concept of cognitive frailty has recently been proposed by an International Consensus Group as the presence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment [defined using the Clinical Dementia Ratings (CDR)=0.5], without concurrent dementia. However, CDR is difficult to implement and not often available in epidemiologic studies or busy clinical settings, and an alternative to CDR is required. We suggest an alternative definition of cognitive frailty as: 1) physical frailty, 2) more than 1.5 standard deviation below the mean for age-, gender-, and education-adjusted norms on any cognitive function test (e.g., the Montreal Cognitive assessment test, the Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale, verbal learning test, Digit Span, Boston Naming Test, Trail Making Test, and Frontal Assessment Battery), and 3) no dependency in instrumental activities of daily living. The redefined criteria for cognitive frailty would be more feasible to implement and thus more applicable in epidemiologic studies and busy clinical settings.
