ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The demographic phenomenon of population aging has brought some consequences, including a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment.

Objective:

This study aimed to assess and compare cognitive impairment and its risk factors between older persons living in the community and in nursing home in Indonesia.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was employed among 99 older adults living in the community and 49 nursing home residents. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Results:

Older people living in the community showed a higher score on MMSE than those living in nursing home (p=0.044). Age, marital status, education level, and literacy status were significantly related to the cognitive function of older adults living in the community (p=0.003, p=0.007, p=0.005, p=0.001, respectively), while gender, education level, and literacy status were significantly related to that of nursing home residents (p=0.012, p=0.004, p=0.001, respectively).

Conclusions:

Older adults living in the nursing home were more likely to experience cognitive decline than their counterparts in the community. Factors associated with cognitive decline differ between community-dwelling older adults and nursing home residents.
RESUMO
RESUMO O fenômeno demográfico do envelhecimento da população trouxe algumas consequências, incluindo uma maior prevalência de comprometimento cognitivo.

Objetivo:

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar e comparar o comprometimento cognitivo e seus fatores de risco entre os idosos que vivem na comunidade e no lar de idosos na Indonésia.

Métodos:

Um estudo transversal foi empregado entre 99 idosos que vivem na comunidade e 49 residentes de casa de repouso. A função cognitiva foi avaliada usando o Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Resultados:

Os idosos que vivem na comunidade mostraram uma pontuação mais alta no MMSE do que aqueles que vivem em casa de repouso (p=0,044). Idade, estado civil, nível de educação e alfabetização estavam significativamente relacionados à função cognitiva de idosos que vivem na comunidade (p=0,003, p=0,007, p=0,005, p=0,001, respectivamente), enquanto gênero, nível educacional e alfabetização estavam significativamente relacionados aos idosos residentes da casa de repouso (p=0,012, p=0,004, p=0,001, respectivamente).

Conclusões:

Os idosos que vivem na casa de repouso tinham maior probabilidade de experimentar um declínio cognitivo do que seus colegas na comunidade. Os fatores associados ao declínio cognitivo diferem entre os idosos que habitam a comunidade e os residentes da casa de repouso.
