Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to investigate the factors related to cognitive status in elderly individuals living in the community. A total of 841 elderly (female: 422, male: 419) living in the community were included in this cross-sectional study. The sociodemographic information of the elderly was recorded. In addition, cognitive status, quality of life, depression and musculoskeletal pain were questioned. The classification and regression tree analysis was used to identify factors associated with cognitive status. Age, depression, quality of life, neck pain, and headache were determinative on the cognitive status of the elderly. Knowing the factors related to cognitive status in elderly individuals living in the community is very important in terms of early diagnosis of factors that may affect the quality of life of these individuals.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Elderly participants living at home

Participants over the age of 65, living at home, not having mental and communication problems that would prevent the evaluations, and volunteering to participate in the study. The sociodemographic information of the participants such as gender, duration of education, living environment and people with whom they live were recorded. In addition, information about the medical condition of geriatric individuals, such as body mass indexes and the number of drugs used, was also recorded in the form. In order to evaluate the cognitive status of the participants, the Standardized or Standardized Mini-Mental Test for the Uneducated was used according to their educational status. The Center for Disease Control Health-Related Quality of Life-4 Scale (CDC HRQoL-4) was used to assess quality of life, and the Geriatric Depression Scale was used to assess emotional status. In addition, the presence of pain and pain levels according to body regions were determined with a 6-point Likert-type scale.
