Abstract

Background: The increasing elderly population highlights the importance of comprehending healthy aging by examining the interactions among cognition, daily activities, and lifestyle. This study aims to address this by investigating these relationships within the World Health Organization's Healthy Aging Model. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 178 older adults from southern Iran, representing various cognitive levels. Participants underwent assessments to measure cognitive functions, lifestyle preferences, and independence in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) using the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Lifestyle Assessment Questionnaire for the Iranian Elderly, and the Lawton IADL Scale. Findings: The relationships between the studied variables were identified. Lower cognitive function was found to be associated with decreased engagement in IADL and less-favorable lifestyle choices. Conclusion: Integrating cognition, IADL, and lifestyle into assessments and interventions align with both the domain and process of occupational therapy, thereby enhancing well-being and promoting healthy aging in older adults.

健康老龄化：认知、生活方式和日常生活工具性活动的相互作用。

背景：老年人口的不断增加凸显了通过研究认知、日常活动和生活方式之间的相互作用来理解健康老龄化的重要性。本研究旨在通过研究世界卫生组织健康老龄化模型中的这些关系来解决这一问题。研究方法：对伊朗南部 178 名不同认知水平的老年人进行了横断面研究。参与者接受了评估，以测量认知功能、生活方式偏好以及日常生活工具性活动（IADL）的独立性，评估使用了小型精神状态检查（Mini-Mental State Examination）、伊朗老年人生活方式评估问卷（Lifestyle Assessment Questionnaire for the Iranian Elderly）和劳顿 IADL 量表（Lawton IADL Scale）。研究结果确定了研究变量之间的关系。研究发现，认知功能较低与参与 IADL 活动减少和选择较差的生活方式有关。结论将认知、IADL 和生活方式整合到评估和干预中符合职业疗法的领域和过程，从而提高老年人的幸福感并促进其健康老龄化。
