Older adults reporting subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) participate less in physical and social activities. Further longitudinal research is needed to understand if SCI causes reduced activity engagement.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Cognitive Science
- Public Health
Background:
- Subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) is a growing concern in aging populations.
- Understanding factors influencing activity participation in older adults is crucial for maintaining well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and synthesize evidence on the relationship between SCI and participation in physical, cognitive, and social activities among older adults.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of nine peer-reviewed articles.
- Appraisal of evidence quality and methodological rigor.
- Analysis of cross-sectional study designs.
Main Results:
- A consistent association was found between higher levels of SCI and lower participation in physical and social activities.
- Older adults reporting greater SCI engaged in fewer activities across domains.
Conclusions:
- Subjective cognitive impairment is linked to reduced activity engagement in older adults.
- Future longitudinal studies are recommended to establish causality and the temporal sequence between SCI and activity withdrawal.
