“…It is important to note that many previous studies have emphasized that lifestyle strongly affects physical function ( 22 , 58 – 60 ). However, in our study, alcohol consumption showed a positive correlation, and the results were insignificant in Model 3.…”

ObjectiveMaintaining and delaying a decline in physical function in older adults is critical for healthy aging. This study aimed to explore trajectories, critical points of the trajectory changes, and predictors among older people in the Chinese community.DesignThis study was one with a longitudinal design performed in China.Setting and participantsThe target population was community-dwelling older adults aged over 65 years. A total of 2,503 older adults from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) were included in this study.MethodsPhysical functioning was measured by instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Population-based trajectory models were used to identify potential heterogeneity in longitudinal changes over 12 years and to investigate associations between baseline predictors and different trajectories for different cohort members using LASSO regression and logistic regression.ResultsFour trajectories of physical function were identified: slow decline (33.0%), poor function and moderate decline (8.1%), rapid decline (23.5%), and stable function (35.4%). Older age, male sex, worse self-reported health status, worse vision status, more chronic diseases, worse cognitive function, and a decreased frequency of leisure activity influenced changes in the trajectory of physical function. Having fewer teeth, stronger depressive symptoms, a lack of exercise, and reduced hearing may increase the rate of decline.Conclusion and implicationsFour trajectories of physical function were identified in the Chinese elderly population. Early prevention or intervention of the determinants of these trajectories can maintain or delay the rate of decline in physical function and improve healthy aging.

“…[26][27][28] Third, based on the findings, it is recommended that research on appropriate lifestyles for the prevention of cognition decline in the elderly, together with proposals for therapeutic interventions. [29][30][31] Although there are negative social views of the stress that arises within relationship formation, the maintenance of social relationships appears to have a positive effect on cognitive function. Studies have shown that older adults who have maintained social relationships are less likely to develop depression in response to cognitive decline.…”

This study presents a review of the existing literature concerning the relationship between types of social network and cognitive functioning during aging. The primary intent of the study was to identify the nature of this relationship. The study examined relevant literature published between 2008 and 2019 using searches of 4 scientific databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and PsycINFO. This study identified the relationship between social-network types and cognitive decline. The relationship is influenced by quantitative rather than qualitative variables of social networks, and it was found that associated with cognitive changes in episodic memory, working memory, and processing speed. The mechanism by which social networks influence cognitive function has been unclear. This study identified cognitive-ability variables related to social-network variables that have a major impact on cognitive function.
