Abstract

IntroductionPhysical activity (PA) is associated with better outcomes in individuals living with Alzheimer's and related dementia (ADRD). We examined environmental, intra-, and interpersonal correlates of PA for persons living with ADRD.MethodsPA (accelerometry), cognitive function, physical function, and sociodemographic factors were collected in adults with ADRD and their caregivers. Spearman's correlations and generalized linear models were used to evaluate factors associated with PA of persons living with ADRD.ResultsValid data were obtained from 65 pairs of adults living with ADRD (73.6 ± 8.4 years, 39.4% female) and caregivers (69.4 ± 9.4 years, 69.2% female, 93.8% spouse). Moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and light PA of persons living with ADRD were correlated with upper and lower body strength, aerobic fitness, and agility. MVPA and sedentary time of persons living with ADRD were associated with that of their caregiver.ConclusionPhysical function and caregiver PA may be targets for interventions in those living with ADRD.

阿尔茨海默病中与身体活动相关的因素：一项针对个体及其照顾者的横断面研究

体育活动（PA）与阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆（ADRD）患者的更好预后相关。我们研究了环境、内部和人际关系与ADRD患者PA的相关性。方法：收集成人ADRD及其照顾者的PA（加速度计）、认知功能、身体功能和社会人口因素。采用Spearman相关和广义线性模型评价与ADRD患者PA相关的因素。结果：65对ADRD成年患者（73.6±8.4岁，女性39.4%）和照顾者（69.4±9.4岁，女性69.2%，配偶93.8%）获得有效资料。ADRD患者的中重度PA （MVPA）和轻度PA与上肢和下肢力量、有氧适能和敏捷性相关。ADRD患者的MVPA和久坐时间与其照顾者相关。结论：身体功能和照顾者PA可能是ADRD患者干预的目标。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging and Health is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research findings and scholarly exchange in the area of aging and health. Manuscripts are sought that deal with social and behavioral factors related to health and aging. Disciplines represented include the behavioral and social sciences, public health, epidemiology, demography, health services research, nursing, social work, medicine, and related disciplines. Although preference is given to manuscripts presenting the findings of original research, review and methodological pieces will also be considered.
