Abstract:
Objective To understand the ability of daily life and the relationship with cognitive ability and depression, to provide a basis for improving the ability of daily life for centenarians in Hainan.Methods Survey and questionnaires were carried out on 383 centenarians in 10 cities and counties, using Barthel index, mini-mental state scale(MMSE) and geriatric depression scale(GDS-15). SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results ADL of 12% elderly was completely normal, 66. 8% with functional decline, 21. 2% with obvious dysfunction;a total of 272 cases were investigated for cognitive function, finding 34(12.5%) completely normal, 238(87.5%) with cognitive dysfunction. Centenarians with cognitive disorder had a higher tendency to dysfunction than those without cognitive impairment(P<0.05). A number of 312 cases was investigated for depression, finding 169(54.2%) completely normal, 112(35.9%) with mild depression,31(9.9%) with severe depression. There was no difference about ADL between centenarians with mild and severe depression( P>0.05) . Conclusions ADL of centenarians in Hainan is overall good and is significantly influenced by the cognitive level, but not by depression.
