| description | As the older population increases worldwide, frailty is the area of research
that deserve further investigation and is considered a major social and public
health concern. Frailty appears physically and mentally, and recently, the term
cognitive frailty has been used to combine physical frailty and mild cognitive
impairment syndrome. Frailty in older adults is characterized by low physical
activity levels and a sedentary lifestyle. Physical activity is essential in
managing mental health issues such as depression and can improve the executive
function and memory of older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Therefore,
this study aimed to examine the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases,
self-reported memory loss, and depression among older adults in Korea according
to frailty and physical activity status. Using data from the 2019 Korea National
Health and Nutrition Survey, this study analyzed 613 community-dwelling older
males aged ≥65 years. Physical activity was measured using a Global
Physical Activity Questionnaire. A health-related quality of life instrument with
eight items (HINT-8) was used to assess self-reported memory loss and depressed
mood. Relationships between physical activity levels, self-reported memory loss
and depressed mood were analyzed using logistic regression. The incidence of
HINT-8 memory (0.52 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.32–0.85)) was
significantly lower in the Physical Activity Level (PAL)-high/pre-frail; the
incidence of HINT-8 depression (0.35 (95% CI: 0.21–0.59); 0.29 (95% CI:
0.17–0.52)) was significantly lower in the and PAL-high/pre-frail. We verified
that the group with PAL-low/frail had the highest self-reported memory loss and
depressed mood, suggesting that more physical activity may reduce self-reported
memory loss and depressed mood among frail older males in Korea. However further
research is needed to analyze the level of physical activity separately between
work and leisure. |
