Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Summary

Active living is crucial for cognitive health in older adults. Factors like fatigue and anxiety negatively impact cognition, but resilience can help mitigate these effects.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Active living encompasses physical, occupational, and transportation-related activities, aiming to reduce sedentary behavior and address inactivity in aging populations.
  • Cognitive health is a growing public health concern, impacting daily functioning and quality of life in older adults.
  • Identifying modifiable factors within active living is key to promoting cognitive health and reducing cognitive decline.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors within active living associated with self-reported cognitive ability in older adults.
  • To determine profiles of individuals with varying levels of self-reported cognitive ability.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study involving 1,612 older adults (65+) from four countries.

  • Utilized survey data on cognitive ability (Communicating Cognitive Concerns Questionnaire - C3Q), personal factors, intrinsic capacity, social determinants of health (SDOH), and active living indicators (Older Persons Active Living Related Quality of Life - OPALrQOL).
  • Employed multivariable logistic regression and classification tree analysis to identify predictors and profiles of cognitive ability.

    • Main Results:

    • Key predictors of cognitive ability included fatigue, anxiety/depression, resilience, health status, motivation, hearing ability, well-being, pain interference, and social support.
    • Fatigue emerged as the most significant predictor, followed by anxiety/depression and resilience.
    • Classification tree analysis identified distinct profiles of cognitive ability based on these factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Anxiety, fatigue, and low resilience are detrimental to cognitive function in older adults.
    • Resilience plays a mitigating role, offering a protective effect against negative cognitive impacts.
    • Findings support the development of public health policies and interventions focused on active living to enhance cognitive health in aging populations.
