多年来,人们都在关注老年人的体格、认知能力与寿命的关系。据美国《医学论坛报》载:老年人认知能力检测得分高者比检测得分低者更长寿。 Vrije大学的研究者选择年龄在55~85岁的志愿者2380名作为认知能力测试对象,他们采用以下5项指标衡量受试者的认知能力:一般认知功能;处理资料速度;应变能力;学习成绩及理解程度。测试后随访1215天进行评分测算结果显示:平均得分低者的死亡率比得分高者多1倍。其中以处理资料速度对预测死亡率的关系最准确。在随访期间,认知能力测试低于平均分者的死亡率为16.4%,高于平均分者的死亡率为5.8%。死亡率的关系与年龄、性别、文化程度及有无忧郁症无相关性。美国费城Temple大学医学院老年病研究所主任Segrist教授认为,Vrije大学的研究结果提供了一项令人信服的证据,即支持认知能力与死亡率的直接预测关系,并与健康关系是不相关的。这就解决了预测死亡率应以健康
Over the years, people are concerned about the elderly physique, cognitive ability and life expectancy. According to the United States, “Medical Tribune,” set: older people with higher scores in cognitive tests than those with lower scores longer test. Researchers at Vrije University selected 2,380 volunteers aged 55-85 years as cognitive test subjects who used the following five measures of cognitive ability: general cognitive function; data processing speed; resilience Academic achievement and understanding. The results of the 1215-day follow-up test showed that the lowest average score was 1 times more likely to die than the highest score. Among them, the most accurate relationship between the data rate and the predicted mortality rate is handled. During the follow-up period, the rate of death below the mean score was 16.4% and above the average score was 5.8%. The relationship between mortality and age, gender, educational level and whether there is no correlation between depression. Professor Segrist, director of the Institute of Geriatrics, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, believes the findings from Vrije University provide convincing evidence of direct predictive relationships between cognitive capacity and mortality and not related to health outcomes of. This solved the predicted mortality should be healthy
