Penurunan kognitif dan demensia merupakan masalah kesehatan yang paling sering dialami oleh lansia yang berdampak pada hilangnya kemampuan untuk mempertahankan fungsi sosial dan kehidupan mandiri. Beragam pencegahan untuk menghambat penurunan kognitif pada lansia pun telah banyak dilakukan mulai dari terapi farmakologi dengan menggunakan obat-obatan sampai terapi non farmakologi. Salah satu terapi non farmakologi yang dipercaya dapat meningkatkan/mempertahankan kemampuan kognitif lansia adalah senam otak atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebutan brain gym. Senam otak dipercaya dapat membantu mengoptimalkan segala fungsi dari sistem saraf pusat yang ada di otak manusia termasuk di dalamnya adalah optimalisasi fungsi kognitif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki pengaruh dari pemberian intervensi non farmakologis yaitu berupa senam otak terhadap fungsi kognitif lansia di Dusun Ciook Kecamatan Darma. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan desain one group pre-post test tanpa kelompok kontrol dengan jumlah sampel 30 orang lansia yang ditentukan dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria inklusi yang telah ditetapkan. Secara keseluruhan 30 orang lansia yang menjadi sampel diberikan intervensi berupa senam otak selama 10-15 menit setiap 2 kali seminggu selama 1 bulan. Pengukuran fungsi kognitif dengan menggunakan Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), dilakukan 2 kali yaitu pada awal sebelum pemberian intervensi dan yang kedua pada tahap akhir pemberian intervensi. Setelah masa pemberian intervensi berakhir dan pengumpulan data terakhir telah selesai, selanjutnya data diolah dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan paired T-test. Berdasarkan hasil uji perbandingan fungsi kognitif lansia di Dusun Ciook Kecamatan Darma tahun 2019 sebelum dan sesudah melakukan terapi senam otak menunjukkan skor rata-rata 17,76 (fungsi kognitif menurun) pada pretest, dan 23,17 (fungsi kognitif baik) pada posttest dengan p value 0,000. Terapi senam otak telah terbukti secara statistik memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam meningkatkan fungsi kognitif pada lansia. Dengan demikian hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat disosialisasikan dan diaplikasikan sebagai terapi non farmakologi dalam mencegah kemunduran fungsi kognitif akibat proses penuaan.

When a person reaches the elderly phase, the function of the body's organs decreases, which causes an increased risk of disease and death. Including dental infections such as caries and periodontal disease which are the main factors for tooth loss. Tooth loss does not only affect the impact of mastication but also affects a person's cognitive function. This condition occurs because when a person loses teeth, the function of the Periodontal Mechanoreceptors decreases, disrupting the function of the hippocampus which is important for memory in the brain. Loss of a large number of teeth tends to indicate low cognitive function, but several factors affect cognitive function, namely education level, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, heart disease, depression, sleep disorders, head injury, physical activity, and a history of smoking. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a tool to assess a person's cognitive function. This study aims to see the description of cognitive function in the elderly at the Geunaseh Sayang Nursing Home with variations in the number of tooth losses. This study was conducted with 43 research subjects with interviews and intra-oral examination methods. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the elderly who only have fewer teeth show a higher decline in cognitive function compared to the elderly with more teeth in the oral cavity. This is following the theory which states that the more teeth you lose, the lower your cognitive function will be.

Purpose To investigate the efficacy of combining the dopamine receptor agonist pramipexole with levodopa for Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment and to measure their effects on quality of life and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in PD patients. Basic Procedure In total, 160 PD patients who were admitted to our hospital were equally randomized into a control treatment group (levodopa alone) and the study group (pramipexole combined with levodopa). Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Findings After treatment, scores from the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scales (1–3), the Hamilton Depression Scale, and the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) were significantly decreased in both groups, whereas Mini-Mental State Examination scores were significantly increased. After treatment, the study group had significantly lower scores for all scales except the Mini-Mental State Examination, for which those who received combined treatment had significantly higher scores than the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group. Furthermore, after treatment, serum TNF-α levels were significantly decreased in both groups compared with pre-treatment levels. Conclusion Pramipexole combined with levodopa relieved PD symptoms and improved the quality of life of PD patients, potentially by suppressing serum TNF-α levels.

ABSTRACT Background: Dementia is a collective term for several diseases that affect memory, other cognitive abilities, and behavior. These diseases can seriously interfere with people’s ability of daily living. This is not a normal phenomenon of aging. With the increasing prevalence of dementia in the elderly, the importance of dementia as a comorbidity of hypertension is increasing. However, several questions regarding the link between hypertension and dementia remain unresolved. This study aimed to determine Orientation-Memory-Concentration-Test (OMCT) can be used to assess cognitive function in the elderly as an early step in the early detection of dementia. Subjects and Method: This was a comparative study using a case-control design. The study was conducted in Jetis Sub-District, Yogyakarta from September 2019 to June 2020. A total sample of 110 of elderly was divided into two groups 42 elderly (case), and 68 elderly (control) selected by consecutive sampling using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock-Drawing Test (CDT) and Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test (OMCT). The dependent variables were the sensitivity and specificity level of the OMCT instrument while the scores of the MMSE. The independent variable was CDT instruments. The collected data will then be processed by diagnostic analysis followed by analysis of ROC and Youden’s index to determine the optimal cut off. Respondents are categorized as having impaired cognitive function if the MMSE (cut off ≤ 24) or CDT (cut off <18) shows a positive result. Results: 110 elderlies were involved. A total of 42 elderlies were included in the case population, and 68 elderlies were included in the control population. In the total OMCT population (cut off> 11) it has a sensitivity (29%) and specificity (97%) to the combination of MMSE and CDT. In populations with hypertension OMCT (cut off> 2.5) has sensitivity (68%) with specificity (46%). In a population without hypertension OMCT (cut off> 7) has a sensitivity (55%) and specificity (90%) to the combination of MMSE and CDT. Conclusion: OMCT can be used as a screening tool for cognitive dysfunction in older people with hypertension because of its short duration, ease of use, and can be used in patients with visual impairments.
