Relationship between education, leisure activities, and cognitive functions in older adults

Aging and Mental Health Oct 21, 2019

Park S, et al. - Researchers examined how life activities are associated with cognitive function and evaluated the predictive value of interaction between education and various leisure activities for cognitive function. They conducted a cross-sectional study examining a total of 210 healthy Korean older adults for their years of education, working, and lifelong leisure activities. The Mini Mental State Examination was undertaken to measure cognitive function. As per a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, there was a positive correlation of education with cognitive function, whereas working activity showed no such correlation. The positive predictive value of craft activities for the cognitive function was evident. Furthermore, the relationship between leisure activities and cognitive function was moderated by education. Results thereby suggest that based on the nature of the leisure activity and educational level, the correlation between various leisure activities and cognitive function can modify. They recommend professionals examining older adults’ cognitive function to give more consideration to the educational level, as well as lifestyles (ie leisure activities), to implement appropriate interventions.
