褪黑色素对老年人记忆能力的影响

Effects of melatonin on anamnesis of aged people

目的探讨褪黑色素对老年人记忆能力的影响。方法采用韦氏记忆量表对服用以褪黑色素为主要成分的脑白金的老年人进行双盲对照研究。结果2组服用褪黑色素后的记忆商都明显高于服用褪黑色素前(P<0.01),可能与学习效能有关;服用褪黑色素后2组间的记忆商没有统计学差异。结论本试验未发现褪黑色素对改善老年人记忆能力有帮助。

Objective To study the effects of melatonin on anamnesis of aged people. Methods Double blind contrast study was carried out on aged people who took Naobaijin in which melatonin was the main ingredient by using Wechsler Memory Scale. Results The memory quotientsof the two groups after taking melatonin were obviously higher than those of the two groups before taking melatonin（ P 〈 0. 01 ）. It might be associated with study efficacy. There was no difference between the memory quotients of the two groups after taking melatonin. Conclusions Melatonin may not be helpful to promote memory capacity of aged people.
