Abstract:
Objective To explore the association between resilience and cognitive impairment in the elderly. Methods A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among 6 524 elderly people aged 60 and over in Anhui Province by cluster sampling. The survey included general demographic characteristics, resilience and cognitive function. Statistical methods such as t-test,chi-square test,binary Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results The incidence of cognitive impairment in the elderly was 13. 6% (886/6 524). The score of resilience in the elderly with normal cognitive function was (64. 89±11. 96), while it was (56. 10±11. 12) in the elderly with impaired cognitive function and the difference was statisti-cally significant (t=20. 511,P<0. 001). Logistic regression analysis showed that there was a statistical cor-relation between resilience and cognitive impairment in the elderly ( OR=0. 936,95%CI:0. 930~0. 943). After adjusting for depression,gender,age and other related factors,there was still a statistical correlation be-tween resilience and cognitive impairment in the elderly (OR=0. 963,95%CI:0. 955~0. 971). Conclusions Resilience is related to cognitive impairment in the elderly,and higher resilience is the protective factor for cognitive impairment.
