Peningkatan jumlah lansia setiap tahunnya harus dijadikan perhatian, akibat adanya peningkatan jumlah lansia masalah yang dihadapi akan menjadi semakin kompleks, salah satunya adalah masalah yang berkaitan dengan gejala penuaan. Menurunnya kapasitas intelektual berhubungan erat dengan fungsi kognitif pada lansia. Aktivitas fisik diidentifikasi sebagai salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi fungsi kognitif. Aktivitas fisik bermanfaat untuk lansia sebagai pencegahan dan demensia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di yayasan sosial Panti Wredha Salib Putih Salatiga pada bulan Juni 2018. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah lansia yang berumur ?60 tahun. Subjek pada penelitian ini berjumlah 16 responden. Variabel independen dalam penelitian ini adalah aktivitas fisik yang dinilai dengan menggunakan instrument GPAQ. Sedangkan variabel dependen dalam penelitian ini adalah fungsi kognitif yang dinilai dengan instrument MMSE. Terdapat 4 orang (25%) yang masuk dalam kategori fungsi kognitif normal dengan kategori aktifitas fisik sedang 1 orang dan aktifitas berat 3 orang, kemudian yang termasuk dalam kategori gangguan fungsi kognitif ringan sebanyak 11 orang (68,75%), dengan kategori aktifitas fisik sedang 8 orang dan aktifitas ringan 3 orang. Sedangkan yang termasuk dalam kategori gangguan fungsi kognitif berat, terdapat 1 orang (6,25%) dengan kategori aktifitasnya ringan. Taraf signifikansi antar variabel tingkat aktifitas fisik dan fungsi kognitif pada lansia adalah p=0.007 atau p<0,05, sehingga dapat disimpulkan ada  hubungan antara tingkat aktifitas fisik dengan fungsi kognitif pada lansia.   Increasing the number of elderly people every year should be a concern, due to an increase in the number of elderly problems faced will become increasingly complex, one of which is a problem related to the symptoms of aging. Decreased intellectual capacity is closely related to cognitive function in the elderly. Physical activity is identified as one of the factors that influence cognitive function. Physical activity is beneficial for the elderly as prevention and dementia. This study was an observational analytic study using a cross sectional approach. The study was conducted at the social foundation nursing home in the white cross in June 2018. The population in this study was elderly aged ≥60 years. The subjects in this study were 16 respondents. The independent variable in this study is physical activity that is assessed using the GPAQ instrument. While the dependent variable in this study was cognitive function which was assessed by the MMSE instrument. There are 4 people (25%) who fall into the category of normal cognitive function with moderate physical activity categories 1 person and heavy activities 3 people, then those included in the category of mild cognitive function disorders are 11 people (68.75%), with the category of physical activity being 8 people and 3 light activities. While those included in the category of severe cognitive function disorders, there is 1 person (6.25%) with a mild activity category. The significance level between the level of physical activity and cognitive function in the elderly is p = 0.007 or p <0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the level of physical activity and cognitive function in the elderly.

Cognitive function disorders in elderly is one of the problems found in Indonesia. Cognitive function is related to a person's lifestyle such as physical activity. Physical activity can increase brain nerve growth and affect cognitive function in elderly. However, the majority of the elderly choose sedentary lifestyle. Sedentary is a lifestyle by applying behavior when sitting, leaning back, and lying down which is done starting from waking up to the night before going to sleep continuously. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between sedentary lifestyle and cognitive function among the elderly at UPT PSTW Jember. A cross-sectional design was conducted among 84 elderly at UPT PSTW Jember by using convenience sampling. A questionnaire was used to identify the sociodemography of participants while the data of sedentary lifestyle was obtained by using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and the data of cognitive function was taken using Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). Spearman rank test was performed to answer the purpose of this study. Among 84 participants, it is shown that elderly are sedentary for 405 minutes/day, which are less than standard score (Ƶ = 1.377; p = 0.045). The cognitive function score of elderly is 27 which are greater than the standard score (Ƶ = 1.401; p = 0.040), so that the elderly has normal cognitive function. According to the result of the study, the sedentary lifestyle is related to cognitive function, the shorter duration of sedentary lifestyle, the cognitive function increases (r = -0.470; p < 0.001). Therefore, planned intervention is to make schedule routine physical activity and aerobic exercise to maintain cognitive function in elderly.

Introduction: The elderly tend to have short sleep duration, resulting in poor sleep quality. Physical activity is believed can improved sleep quality. This study was aimed to explain the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality among the elderly who are still working.Method: This study used a correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach. There were 63 elderly who involved as respondents by using the simple random sampling technique. The independent variable of this research was physical activities, while the dependent variable was sleep quality. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were then analyzed by using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p=0.05.Results: The study found that physical activity correlates with sleep quality among the elderly who are still working (p=0.021). The elderly with moderate physical activity has three times chance to have a good sleep quality (OR=3.667).Conclusion: Moderate physical activity correlates with good sleep quality. However, an increase in physical activity will worsen the sleep quality among the elderly. The elderly who are still working can reduce the intensity of their activity in the workplace.

Abstract Background: This study explored the effects of physical activity and sedentary behaviour on the decline of cognitive ability among the elderly. To compensate for the limitations of self-reported physical activity, objective measures were used. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 308 aged people mean 68.66±5.377 years, in Nanjing, China, was conducted. Physical activity was measured using the ActiGraph GT3X+, and cognitive function was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Results: The overall participant model, adjusted for age, BMI, education, and monthly average income, found that light physical activity (β=0.006, p<0.01), moderate-vigorous physical activity (β=0.068, p<0.001), and total physical activity (β=0.006, p<0.01) had a significant linear relationship with cognitive ability, while sedentary time did not (β=-0.020, p>0.05). Further, light physical activity only affects the cognitive ability of elderly females (β=0.006, p<0.05). There was an inverted ‘U’ association between moderate-vigorous physical activity and cognitive ability. The association models found that moderate-vigorous physical activity in the 22.13 min·day–1~38.79 min·day–1 range affected cognitive ability most beneficially, with the highest beta coefficient among all groups (β=0.091, p<0.05). Conclusions: While physical activity can significantly improve cognitive ability among the elderly, sedentary behaviour is associated with decreased cognitive function across genders.

BACKGROUND: Degenerative processes in the elderly can cause various kinds of disorders, including cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension. The heart muscle loses contractile efficiency and strength, decreases relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, loss of connective tissue elasticity resulting in decreased ability to stretch, and decreases the ability of blood vessels to stand up. Physical activity can have an impact on changes in the strength of the smooth muscle in the heart so that the pulse in the heart can be strong and regular. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the elderly physical activity level with hypertension in Posbindu Sumber Sehat Kangkung Village, Demak Regency. METHODS: This type of research is descriptive using a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in Posbindu Sumber Sehat Kangkung Village, Demak Regency, with a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The number of samples in this study was 63 elderly with hypertension respondents. The data collection tool uses the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Analysis of the data used frequency distribution. RESULTS: The results showed that the elderly physical activity with hypertension was included in the category of moderate physical activity (60.3%); blood pressure in elderly with hypertension was mostly included in the category of mild hypertension (54.0%). CONCLUSION: Based on these results, it is expected that elderly with hypertension will always increase physical activity, especially the frequency and duration that is carried out according to ability.
