Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of mild cognitive impairments (MCIs) in Malaysia. Method: This is a cross-sectional community-based study among elderlies aged 60 years and above in the four states of Malaysia - Perak, Kelantan, Selangor and Johor. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used for the data collection. Mini Mental State Examination score ?22 was used to diagnosed MCI and analyzed by using multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 2112 participants were recruited into this study. Mean age of the participants was 69.2±18.8 years, and 51.4% of them were females. The ethnic distribution was 63.4% Malaysian, 31.4% Chinese, 5.0% Indians, and 0.2% others. The overall prevalence of MCI was 68% (n=1436/2112). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, participant who were older (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04), did not receive formal education (OR 6.85, 95% CI 4.58-10.25), had primary education (OR 2.35 95% CI 1.84-3.00), were lonely (OR 1.18 95% CI 1.05-1.32), and had low level of life satisfaction (OR 1.68 95% CI 1.02-2.67), had significant positive correlations with MCI. Conclusion: MCI is present in seven out of ten elderly Malaysians. Aging population, presence of low education level, loneliness and low life satisfaction level seem to facilitate development of MCI.
目的:本研究旨在确定轻度认知障碍(MCIs)在马来西亚的患病率和预测因素。方法:这是一项横断面社区研究,在马来西亚四个州-霹雳州,吉兰丹州,雪兰莪州和柔佛州的60岁及以上老年人中进行。数据采集采用多阶段分层随机抽样方法。采用Mini Mental State Examination总分?22分诊断轻度认知障碍,采用多因素logistic回归分析。结果:本研究共招募了2112名参与者。参与者平均年龄为69.2±18.8岁,女性占51.4%。种族分布为马来西亚人63.4%,华人31.4%,印度人5.0%,其他0.2%。MCI的总患病率为68% (n=1436/2112)。在多因素logistic回归分析中,年龄较大(OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04)、未接受正规教育(OR 6.85, 95% CI 4.58-10.25)、初等教育(OR 2.35 95% CI 1.84-3.00)、孤独(OR 1.18 95% CI 1.05-1.32)、生活满意度较低(OR 1.68 95% CI 1.02-2.67)的参与者与MCI有显著正相关。结论:十分之七的马来西亚老年人患有轻度认知障碍。人口老龄化、受教育程度低、孤独感和生活满意度低似乎有助于MCI的发展。
