To understand the relationship between cognitive impairment in old people and the mental status of their childhood caregivers, and to provide new ideas for screening and prevention of key population with cognitive impairment.
Samples aged 60 and above in the China Health and Elderly Care Longitudinal Survey Database in 2014 and 2018 were selected as research subjects (n=6 991), and the cognitive status of old people in China was evaluated by using the simple mental status examination scale. χ2test was used for single factor analysis, and binary logistic model was used for stepwise regression analysis.
The detection rate of cognitive impairment in old people aged 60 and above in China was 16.08%. Older adults with poorer mental health among caregivers during childhood (OR=1.03, P<0.05) were more likely to suffer from cognitive impairment. In addition, old people who are male, married, non rural household registration, having social activity and having mild physical activity were less likely to have cognitive impairment. Old people with middle age, advanced age, smoking, and mild disability were more likely to suffer from cognitive impairment.
There is a significant relationship between cognitive impairment in old people and the mental state of their childhood caregivers. We should increase the screening and prevention of cognitive function among old people who have been exposed to adverse mental conditions of their caregivers during childhood.
