Objectives:Among non-pharmaceutical measures for preventing cognitive impairment, involving in social activities is known to be very effective. We tried to examine the correlation between social activity and cognitive function.
Methods:This study was based on the Suwon Project, a cohort comprising of non-random convenience samples of ethnic Kore- ans aged 60 years and above. All the subjects completed the study questionnaire which included demographic characteristics, cur- rent and past history of illnesses, drug history, Korean version of Mini Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), Korean version of Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. We checked the time consumed in each 9 social activities through the checklist.
Results:On multiple logistic regression analysis, the total time spent in social activities wasinversely associated with the K- MMSE score after adjusting confounding variables like age, sex, education level, depression, anxiety and vascular risk factor (β= -0.041, p=0.024). On the other hand, correlation was found between K-MMSE score and time spent in participating in religious party (β=0.053, p=0.003) as well as time spent in elder’s university (β=0.040, p=0.025) after adjustingage, sex, education, depres- sion, anxiety and vascular risk factor.
Conclusion:Our results suggest that involving in quality social activities might be more effective in improving cognitive func- tion than spending longer total time in any social activity.
