“…And the mediating effect of social activity between the residential place and cognitive function was confirmed [27]. It was confirmed that partic-ipation in social activities has the effect of delaying cognitive decline in the older adults 65 or older [28], and that the social activity indirectly affects cognitive function [29]. Furthermore, it has been found that consistent social engagement leads to cognitive improvement and the role in social networks and social activity moderates the relationship between depression and memory [30].…”

Purpose: This study determined the mediating effects of information and communication technology (ICT) use, as well as social activity, on the relationship between depression and cognitive function.Methods: Of the original data of the 2020 National survey of older Koreans, conducted on a national sample, the data of 8,980 adults 65 or older were analyzed by complex sample analysis using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and Sobel’s test.Results: Results showed that depression negatively correlated with cognitive function, ICT use, and social activity, whereas cognitive function positively correlated with ICT use and social activity. Results also showed partial mediating effects of ICT use and social activity, on the relationship between depression and cognitive function.Conclusion: Results confirm that ICT use and social activity can act as protective factors, that contribute to reducing cognitive decline that may be caused by late-life depression. This suggests that strategies for enhancing ICT use and social activity should be considered that impact cognitive function in depressed older adults.

“…However, the impact of lifestyle factors such as social engagement, smoking, and alcohol consumption on cognitive decline has not been consistently reported. Some studies have reported that SA at baseline may help delay cognitive decline [ 11 , 12 ], whereas others have failed to demonstrate this [ 13 , 14 ]. Similarly, a reciprocal relationship study [ 15 ] reported that cognitive function could modify subsequent changes in confiding and practical social support, but not vice versa.…”

OBJECTIVES: Few longitudinal studies have explored age-related differences in the relationship between lifestyle factors and cognitive decline. This study investigated lifestyle factors at baseline that slow the longitudinal rate of cognitive decline in young-old (55-64 years), middle-old (65-74 years), and old-old (75+ years) individuals.METHODS: We conducted an 11-year follow-up that included 6,189 older adults from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, which is a cohort study of community-dwelling older Koreans. Lifestyle factors, including physical activity, social activity (SA), smoking, and alcohol consumption were assessed at baseline. Cognitive function was measured at 2-year intervals over 11 years. Latent growth modeling and multi-group analysis were performed.RESULTS: The influence of lifestyle factors on the rate of cognitive decline differed by age. Smoking at baseline (-0.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.11 to -0.00, per study wave) accelerated cognitive decline in young-old individuals, whereas frequent participation in SA at baseline (0.02; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.03, per study wave) decelerated cognitive decline in middle-old individuals. None of the lifestyle factors in this study decelerated cognitive decline in old-old individuals.CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive strategies based on modifiable lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation in young-old individuals and frequent SA participation in middle-old age individuals may have great potential for preventing cognitive decline. Because the influence of lifestyle factors varied by age group, age-specific approaches are recommended to promote cognitive health.

Background: There is a paucity of longitudinal studies in the literature which have investigated age-related differences in the relationship between lifestyle factors and cognitive decline. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate which lifestyle factors at baseline would slow the longitudinal rate of cognitive decline in young-old (55-64 years), middle-old (65-74 years), and old-old (75+ years) individuals. Methods: We conducted an 11-year follow-up of 6189 older adults from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, which is a cohort of community-dwelling older Koreans. Lifestyle factors including physical activity (PA), social activity (SA), smoking, and alcohol consumption were assessed at baseline. Cognitive function was measured at 2-year intervals over a duration of 11 years. Latent growth curve modeling (LGM) and multigroup analyses (MGA) were performed. Results: The influence of lifestyle factors on the rate of cognitive decline differed by age. Smoking at baseline (−0.05, 95% CI −0.11 to −0.001, per study wave) accelerated the cognitive decline in young-old individuals while frequent SA participation at baseline (0.02, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.03, per study wave) decelerated the cognitive decline in middle-old individuals. None of the lifestyle factors in this study decelerated the cognitive decline in old-old individuals. Conclusion: Cognitive strategies through modifiable lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation in the young-old and frequent SA participation in the middle-old age groups may have great potential in preventing cognitive decline. Since the influence of lifestyle factors varies by age group, age-specific approaches are recommended for promoting cognitive health.
