The relationship between cognitive and physical function within residents of a Czech senior home
Original language description
BACKGROUND: The decline in cognition and physical fitness is common in advanced age. OBJECTIVE: The relationship between cognition and aerobic capacity was compared to the relationship between cognition and balance. METHODS: Twenty one females and six male residents of a Czech senior center participated in the study (mean age: 77.52 +- 7.03; range: 62 - 86 years). The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used for assessing cognition, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for assessing balance, and the 6 Minute Walking test (6MWT) assessed physical fitness. Based on the MMSE scores, two groups of cognitive functioning were formed: high and low. RESULTS: Participants in the 'high MMSE' group reached a significant higher score on the 6MWT (p=0.01) than the 'low MMSE' group. Group differences on the BBS were marginally significant (p=0.07, d=0.6). CONCLUSION: Based on this sample, the variance of physical fitness can be explained by cognitive functioning, while that of balance should be further
