Association between cardiopulmonary function, health-related quality of life and cognitive impairment among the older nursing home residents in Shanghai, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to examine the association between cardiopulmonary function, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and cognitive function among nursing home residents aged 80 years and over.

Methods

A nursing home-based, cross-sectional study was implemented among 677 aged over 80 years in Shanghai, China. A total of 197 participants underwent effective cardiopulmonary function examinations. Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and Short Form-36 scales (SF-36) were used to assess cognitive function and HRQOL, respectively.

Results

Decline in left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.98; 95% confidential interval (CI), 1.03-3.81)] and vital capacity (VC) (AOR, 2.08; 95%CI, 1.07-4.04) was associated with cognitive impairment.
