ABSTRACT

This study aims at investigating how specific factors influence the onset of cognitive decline. 102 participants (51 with cognitive decline a 51 healthy control), aged 45 to 95, were involved in the study. All participants underwent a neurological evaluation. The CSHA Risk Factor Questionnaire was also administered. The level and type of education, number, and kind of leisure activities, exercise, smoking, and physical, psychological, or psychiatric conditions were found to be linked to cognitive decline, either as protective or as risk factors. Way to use information to prevent or slow down cognitive decline in clinical aging practice are discussed.

摘要

本研究旨在调查特定因素如何影响认知能力下降的发生。102 名年龄在 45 至 95 岁之间的参与者（51 名认知能力下降，51 名健康对照）参与了这项研究。所有参与者都接受了神经学评估。还管理了 CSHA 风险因素问卷。发现教育水平和类型、休闲活动的数量和种类、锻炼、吸烟以及身体、心理或精神状况与认知能力下降有关，无论是作为保护因素还是风险因素。讨论了在临床衰老实践中使用信息来预防或减缓认知能力下降的方法。
