ABSTRACT
The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the age-related differences in cognitive function (CF), nutritional status (MNA), physical activity (AF), quality of life (QoL), depression, social sat-isfaction (SS) and socioeconomic status (SES), and (2) to explore the relationships between CF and the previous variables. This cross sectional study included 268 men and 433 women (aged 71.4 ± 7.0 years). CF was determined with the Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Correlates were as follows Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), PA (Baecke questionnaire modified for older adults), Quality of life (QoL SF-12), Geriatrics Depression Scale (GDS), Satisfaction and Social Support Scale, and Socioeconomic status (SES). All instruments were applied in a face to face interview. An independent t-test identi-fied significantly higher scores in young-old adults (≤ 69 years) for CF (p < 0.001), PA (p= 0.046) and SES (p= 0.007), compared to old-old adults (≥ 70 years). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the most significant CF correlates were SES (ß = 0.45;p< 0.001), age (ß = -0.12;p< 0.001), SS (ß = 0.12;p= 0.001), GDS (ß = -0.11; p= 0.003) and QoL (ß = 0.08;p= 0.017). The overall regression model explained 36% of the total variance in the COGTEL. The oldest and the more depressed adults obtained lower scores for FC. The present study suggests that, between the correlates studied, SES was the strongest predictor in the explanation of CF in older adults
RESUMO
Os objetivos deste estudo foram (1) investigar as diferenças associadas à idade na função cognitiva (FC), status nutricional (MNA), atividade física (AF), qualidade de vida (QV ), depressão, satisfação social (SS) e estatuto socioeconômico (ESSE), e (2) explorar as relações entre a FC e as varáveis anteriores. Este estudo, de natureza transversal, incluiu 268 homens e 433 mulheres (71,4 ± 7,0 anos de idade). A FC foi determinada a partir do Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL) e do Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Os preditores analisados incluíram o Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), a AF (questionário de Baecke modificado para idosos), a QV (SF-12), a Escala de Depressão em Geriatria (GDS), a Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social e o ESSE (Estatuto Socioeconômico). Todos os instrumentos foram aplicados sob forma de entrevista. Um t-teste de medidas independentes identificou scores significativamente mais elevados nos adultos-idosos mais jovens (60 - 69 anos de idade) na FC (p < 0,001), AF (p = 0,046) e ESSE (p = 0,007), comparativamente aos mais idosos (70 - 91 anos de idade). Os resultados da análise de regressão linear múltipla indicaram que os preditores mais significativos da FC foram ESSE (ß = 0,45; p < 0,001), idade (ß = -0,12; p < 0,001), SS (ß = 0,12; p = 0,001), GDS (ß = -0,11; p = 0,003) e QV (ß = 0,08; p = 0,017). O modelo de regressão testado, explicou 36% da variância total do COGTEL. As pessoas mais idosas e deprimidas obtiveram scores mais baixos na FC. Este estudo sugere que entre os preditores estudados, o ESSE é a variável mais forte na explicação da FC nos adultos idosos
