社区老人认知衰弱相关影响因素及预防研究进展

Research progress on influencing factors and prevention measures of cognitive frailty in community-dwelling elderly

认知衰弱(CF)是一种认知储备减少的状态,具有可逆性。有研究报道,CF可能是预防社区老人护理依赖等不良结局的重要靶点。了解社区老人CF的相关影响因素及其病理生理机制和防治措施,有利于预防及延缓CF的发生,减少护理依赖,提高老年人及照护者的生活质量,延缓入住长期照护机构或缩短入住急性医院护理单元的时间,减轻社会负担。

Cognitive frailty(CF)is a state of impairment with reduced cognitive reserve,which is reversible.Some studies have reported that CF may be an important target to prevent adverse outcomes such as dependence on care for the elderly in the community.Understanding the relevant influencing factors,pathophysiological mechanisms and prevention measures of CF among the elderly in the community will help prevent and delay the occurrence of CF,reduce nursing dependence,improve the quality of life in the elderly and caregivers,delay admission to long-term care institutions or reduce the time of admission to acute hospital nursing units,and reduce the social burden at the same time.
