Salah satu masalah yang dialami pada lansia adalah Terganggunya kapasitas intelektual yang berhubungan dengan fungsi kognitif pada lansia. Faktor nutrisi adalah faktor yang dapat menentukan keadaan kognitif lansia dan untuk mencegah potensi penurunan kognitif pada lansia. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara indeks massa tubuh dengan status kognisi pada lansia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan rancangan penelitian studi cross-sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Panti Sosial Tresna Werda Wana Seraya, Denpasar. Penghitungan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) yang dilakukan pada lansia dengan pengukuran berat badan dan tinggi badan berdasarkan tinggi lutut dan Status kognisi ditentukan dengan menggunakan kuisioner abbreviated mental test (AMT). Data yang diperoleh di analisis secara univariat dan bivariat dengan uji korelasi Rank Spearman. Terdapat 22 responden termasuk dalam penelitian ini dengan rerata umur 76,5±4,56 tahun. Prevalensi penurunan fungsi kognitif lansia diperoleh 77,3%. Dari 17 lansia dengan penurunan fungsi kognitif, sebanyak 58,8% mengalami gizi kurang, 35,3% mengalami gizi baik dan 5,9% mengalami gizi lebih. Berdasarkan uji korelasi diperoleh hubungan yang cukup kuat antara indeks massa tubuh dengan status kognisi (r = 0,436; p=0,043). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang cukup kuat antara IMT dengan status kognitif pada lansia.

The ability of elderly patients to identify a nurse wearing a uniform as opposed to mufti was investigated together with the effect of administrator attire on the Abbreviated Mental Test score (AMT). Thirty-six out of 71 patients identified a nurse wearing mufti increasing to 59/71 when wearing uniform (P < 0.005). Patients rated by a uniformed nurse had significantly higher mean AMT scores (6.1) than when rated by a nurse in mufti (5.6) (P < 0.01), and this also had a significant effect on the sensitivity in predicting an organic diagnosis.

To estimate the prevalence of dementia among Thai elderly in the upper Southern region of Thailand, we performed a cross-sectional screening of all Thai older people from 2 areas of Nakhon Si Thammarat province: Tambon Baan Thungchon, Tha Sala district, and Moo 6 and 7 from Sichon district, from December 2016 to November 2017. Trained health volunteers identified the participants in their communities and collected data including age, gender, comorbidities, Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) results, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores. Our sample comprised 773 participants, of which 605 (78.3 %) were from Baan Thungchon area, while 168 were from Moo 6 and Moo 7 of Sichon district. The majority of participants were female (431, 55.7 %). The mean age of the participants was 79 ± 9.1 years, with a minimum age of 60, and a maximum age of 95. Their comorbidities were hypertension (42.9 %), type II diabetic mellitus (33.2 %), dyslipidemia (37.5 %), and osteoarthritis of the knees (35.8 %). 35.1 % of them also had positive TUGT. Sixty-seven participants (8.7 %) scored 7 or lower in the Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT). Five participants (7.5 %) had a positive screening for dementia.
