With 16.15% of its total population aged 65 or above, Taiwan is already an aging society. Frailty is a natural consequence of aging, which may decrease physical strength and deteriorate physiological functioning. We examined the mediating effects of...

Background: The increase in average life expectancy necessitates the identification of possible mechanisms capable of promoting “active aging” to ensure adequate levels of global functioning. Numerous studies show that regular physical ac...

This study aimed to characterize cognitive function examined using Cognitive-related Behavioral Assessment (CBA) in activities of daily living (ADLs). According to CBA severity at discharge, 791 patients were assigned to five groups (most severe, sev...

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in cognitive well-being and brain activity between older women with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) across varying levels of physical activity. Method: A total of 126 fe...

This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of depression and interpersonal contact on the association between cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) in older adult patients with dementia. This descriptive cross-sectional s...

Background/objectives: Although there are studies on TV viewing and the health status of elderly, they do not present direct associations with specific variables. The aim of this study was to determine correlations between TV viewing variables and el...

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) occurs frequently in patients living with cancer, with consequences on quality of life. Recently, research on the management of these difficulties has focused on computerized cognitive stimulation and comput...

Research suggests that physical activity can be used as an intervention to increase cognitive function. Yet, there are competing views on the cognitive effects of physical activity and it is not clear what level of consensus exists among researchers...

Physical activity and exercise contribute to the accumulation of cognitive reserve, which is instrumental for preserving cognitive health in old age. In a large sample of 701 older adults (mean age = 70.36 years), we investigated whether the relation...

(1) Background: Research examining whether activity engagement is related to cognitive functioning in older adults has been limited to using retrospective reports of activity which may be affected by biases. This study compared two measurements (esti...

Age-related dementia refers to a state in which someone experiences multiple cognitive function impairment due to degenerative brain disease, and which causes difficulties in their daily life or social life. Dementia is the most common and serious ob...

Background: Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) abnormalities have been widely studied in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and are linked to cognition. Traditionally, research has focused on the absolute power spectrum, which includes both aper...
