Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between health-protective behaviors against fine particle exposure and cognitive function among the elderly. A total of 100 individuals aged 60 and above at a dementia relief center in a specific district participated in this study. Cognitive function was examined using the Cognitive Screening Test (CIST). Descriptive analysis, t-tests, cross-tabulations, binary logistic regression, and linear regression were used to analyze the data. The results indicated significant correlations between fine particle health-protective behaviors and cognitive function, which persisted even after adjusting for sociodemographic factors. These findings suggest that higher levels of protective behaviors are associated with better cognitive outcomes, highlighting the importance of interventions in aging populations. Further prospective studies are needed to determine whether fine particle health-protective behavior can help maintain cognitive function.
