Objective:
As individuals age, cognitive decline can significantly impact their quality of life. This systematic review aims to investigate the potential association between parent-child relationships among older adults in Eastern Asian countries and their cognitive performance.
Methods:
For this research, a systematic search was conducted on several electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar search engine, up to March 2023.
Results:
Out of 418 articles, 6 were eligible for inclusion in the study. The findings suggest that intergenerational relationships, particularly emotional support and two-way financial communications, are associated with maintaining cognitive health in older adults.
Conclusions:
Intergenerational relationships affect cognitive health in older adults, with implications for healthcare, social welfare, and the economy. Further research is required to investigate the effects of children's visits on cognitive health and explore the complexities of intergenerational relationships on cognitive health in aging populations.
