老年人社会隔离与认知能力关系的研究进展

Research progress on the relationship between social isolation and cognitive ability in the elderly

社会隔离在某种程度上是全部或部分被剥夺社会化的过程,其发生会对老年人产生生理、心理、社会等诸多方面的不利影响。同时,在人类的生命历程中不可避免的要经历衰老,衰老带来的认知能力的改变更是我们关注的焦点。本文是对老年人社会隔离与认知能力关系的研究进展进行综述,以期为今后关于老年人社会隔离与认知能力的相关研究提供新视角,为老年社会隔离人群干预模式的构建和健康管理提供新思路。

Social isolation represents the development of a certain level,either partial or complete,of deprivation of socialization and may have adverse effects in many aspects for the elderly,which can be physiological,psychological and social.Meanwhile,during the course of human life,aging becomes an inevitable process and brings about changes in cognitive ability,which become an important focus of our attention.This paper reviews the research progress on the relationship between social isolation and cognitive ability in the elderly,in order to provide a new perspective for future research on social isolation and cognitive ability in the elderly and also to offer new insight on how to construct a model of intervention and health management for the elderly population with social isolation.
