ABSTRACT

In-home assessment of everyday activities over many months to years may be useful in predicting cognitive decline in older adulthood. This study examined whether a comparatively brief data collection period (3 months) may yield similar diagnostic information. A total of 91 community-dwelling older adults without dementia underwent baseline neuropsychological testing and completed weekly computer-based surveys assessing health-related events/activities. A subset of participants wore fitness tracker watches assessing daily sleep and physical activity patterns, used a sensor-instrumented pillbox, and had their computer use frequency recorded on a daily basis. Similar patterns in computer use, sleep and medication use were noted in comparison to prior literature with more extensive data collection periods. Greater computer use and sleep, as well as self-reported pain and independence, were also linked to better cognition. These activities and symptoms may be useful correlates of cognitive function even when assessed over a relatively brief monitoring period.

对老年人的日常活动和健康事件进行不引人注目的家庭评估:在短暂观察期内与认知表现的关联

摘要

对数月至数年日常活动的家庭评估可能有助于预测老年人的认知能力下降。本研究检验了相对较短的数据收集期(3 个月)是否可以产生类似的诊断信息。共有 91 名没有痴呆症的社区老年人接受了基线神经心理学测试,并完成了每周一次基于计算机的调查,评估与健康相关的事件/活动。一部分参与者佩戴健身追踪手表来评估每日睡眠和身体活动模式,使用装有传感器的药盒,并每天记录他们的电脑使用频率。与具有更广泛数据收集周期的先前文献相比,在计算机使用、睡眠和药物使用方面发现了类似的模式。更多地使用电脑和睡眠,以及自我报告的疼痛和独立性也与更好的认知能力有关。即使在相对较短的监测期内进行评估,这些活动和症状也可能是认知功能的有用关联。
