Abstract

Introduction: A decline in cognitive function in the elderly occurs in the body due to aging. Internal and external factors influence the decline in cognitive function in the elderly. This research focuses on blood sugar, blood pressure, and the elderly's characteristics as a factor in decreasing the cognitive function of the elderly.Methods: This research uses the descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional design of 101 respondents. The independent variables of this study are blood sugar, blood pressure, and demographic characteristics. The dependent variable is the cognitive function of the elderly. Data obtained were analyzed both univariate and bivariate using the Chi-square test.Results: Blood pressure has a significant relationship with the impaired cognitive function in the elderly (p<0.05). Other factors, such as blood sugar, age, sex, and education level did not show any relationship with the cognitive function of the elderly (p>0.05).Conclusion: Blood pressure has a relationship with cognitive function in the elderly. In contrast, blood sugar does not have a relationship with cognitive function.

Abstract

Introduction: The increase in the elderly population causes many health problems. One of them is the decline in physical function, making the elderly have difficulty performing daily activities. Some studies suggest the relation between decreased hemoglobin level with aerobic endurance and muscle strength. This study aims to determine the relation between hemoglobin and aerobic endurance, muscle strength in the elderly. Methods: This research is an analytic-correlative research conducted cross-sectionally on 84 respondents in Kelurahan Cideng, Central Jakarta. The data is collected from questionnaires, hemoglobin level (sodium lauryl sulfate-hemoglobin method), and physical performance tests (2-minutes test, arm curl test, and chair stand test). Results: The mean hemoglobin level is 14.37 g/dL. There was a significant relation between hemoglobin with aerobic endurance (p<0.05), whereas no significant relation between hemoglobin with upper and lower limb muscle strength (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was a relation between hemoglobin level with aerobic endurance in the elderly.
