Nutritional Status, Physical Activity, Oxidative Stress, and Cognitive Function in Pre Elderly and Elderly

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the relation of nutritional status, physical activity or oxidative stress with cognitive function of pre-elderly and elderly. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 pre-elderly and 35 elderly subjects who were admitted to the Integrated Development Post Program (Posbindu) between September 2014 and January 2015. Anthropometric measurements (weight and height), physical activity, and biochemical data (oxidized low-density lipoprotein[Ox-LDL] and serum malondialdehyd [MDA]) were obtained. Nutritional status was assessed through body mass index (BMI), while the cognitive function was measured by Rey Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) and Digit Span Backward. The data were analysed using an independent t-test and Spearman's test with a confidence level of 95%. The study showed that the prevalence of malnutrition among the pre-elderly and elderly were 60.0% and 80.0%, respectively. Concerning physical activity, those who belonged to inactive-sedentary activity based on physical activity level (PAL) ratio were 55.0% and 45.7%, respectively. There were no significant differences in Ox-LDL, MDA levels and cognitive function (p>0.05). Significant negative correlations existed between Ox-LDL and immediate visual memory function (r=-0.289; p<0.05), as well as between Ox-LDL and delayed visual memory function (r=-0.288; p<0.05). The conclusion that visual memory function was only correlated with Ox-LDL.

Evaluation of Selected Parameters of Oxidative Stress and Adipokine Levels in Hospitalized Older Patients with Diverse Nutritional Status

“…Increased plasma oxLDL concentration has been recognized as a prognostic indicator of mortality in the general population with congestive heart failure [ 42 ]. Dainy et al [ 43 ] analyzed the relation of nutritional status, physical activity, and oxidative stress with cognitive function of 40 pre-elderly and 35 elderly subjects. The study revealed the prevalence of malnutrition in 60.0% and 80.0% of participants, respectively.…”

Pemeriksaan Profil Lipid Pada Jemaat Lansia Salah Satu Gereja Kristen Di Yogyakarta

“…Ditinjau dari sisi umur, maka prevalensi penyakit jantung koroner banyak ditemukan pada usia di atas 45 tahun ( Kementerian Kesehatan R.I., 2018). Sejalan dengan laporan Riskesdas 2018 ini, maka beberapa penelitian di Indonesia yang dilakukan pada subjek uji pralansia dan lansia menujukkan bahwa prevalensi dislipidemia di beberapa daerah di Indonesia adalah cukup tinggi (Berawi, 2018;Dainy et al, 2016;Kamso, 2007;Lestari et al, 2018;Sawitri and Maulina, 2022;Trisartiaka and Agustina, 2022).…”

Astringency sensitivity to tannic acid: Effect of ageing and salivary proline-rich protein levels

“…Consequently, these changes can have detrimental effects on food intake, leading to reduced consumption of essential nutrients such as vegetables, nuts and fish ( Muñoz-González et al, 2018 , Vandenberghe-Descamps et al, 2018 ). Ultimately, this can result in malnutrition and diet-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes ( Dainy, Kusharto, Madanijah, Nasrun, & Turana, 2018 ).…”
