This study aims to determine the status of functional independence in performing instrumental and daily activities as well as its related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was cond...
متن کاملAltered visual-spatial attention to task-irrelevant information is associated with falls risk in older adults.
Executive cognitive functions play a critical role in falls risk—a pressing health care issue in seniors. In particular, intact attentional processing is integral for safe mobility and navigation. However, the specific contribution of impaired visual–spatial attention in falls remains unclear. In this study, we examined the association between visual–spatial attention to task-irrelevant stimuli...
متن کاملCortical thickness is associated with altered autonomic function in cognitively impaired and non-impaired older adults.
KEY POINTS The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is critical for adaptation to environment demands. Alzheimer's disease (AD), via frontal compensatory processes, may affect PNS regulation, thereby compromising older adults' capacity for adaptation, and increasing morbidity and mortality risk. Here we found that AD-associated neurodegeneration accompanied an overactive anterior cingulate cort...
متن کاملImpaired Knowledge of Driving Laws Is Associated with Recommended Driving Cessation in Cognitively Impaired Older Adults
BACKGROUND/AIMS The present study examined if knowledge of driving laws independently predicts on-the-road driving performance among cognitively impaired older adults. METHODS The current study consisted of retrospective observational analyses on 55 cognitively impaired older adults (77.9 ± 6.4 years) that completed an on-the-road driving evaluation, a 20-item knowledge test of driving laws, ...
