Effects of Cosmetic Therapy on Cognitive Function in Elderly Women: a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study
نویسنده
چکیده
It is important to establish methods for maintaining or improving cognitive function in elderly people. Here, we employed timeresolved spectroscopy (TRS) to evaluate the effect of cosmetic therapy on prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in elderly females. Based on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, the subjects were classified into mild and moderate cognitive impairment groups. Cosmetic therapy significantly increased the baseline concentrations of oxy-Hb and t-Hb in the left PFC in the mild cognitive impairment group. However, cosmetic therapy did not change oxy-Hb and t-Hb in the moderate cognitive impairment group. These results suggest that cosmetic therapy affects cognitive function by altering PFC activity in elderly women with mild cognitive impairment, but not moderate cognitive impairment.
