|
Objectives: This research study aimed to compare and analyze changes in health related lifestyles in middle age and the relevant association of cognitive function in old age.
Methods: The change in health-related lifestyles and the influence on cognitive function between the first and eighth panels of 3,404 participants aged 45 to 64 were examined using multiple regression analysis.
Results: First, improved health behavior for 14 years, but health status and social networks and social activities decreased. Second, older age, low levels of education, depression, and diabetes were found to be related to cognitive deterioration. Third, the predictive factors of middle age that affect cognitive decline in old age were low education level, physical activity time of 150 minutes or more, and diagnosis of diabetes. Moreover, regular health examinations and one or more organizational activities in a month appeared to have a positive effect on cognitive function in old age.
Conclusion: These findings highlight the significance of health behavior and health management and the need for intervention in middle-aged people who are experiencing various life tasks and chronic diseases in order to maintain cognitive function in old age.
