The impact of cognitive function on physical activity, physical function and quality of life in older adults following a hip fracture

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Objective

To determine the impact of cognitive function on physical activity (PA), physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults within the first year after hip fracture (HF) surgery.

Methods

We included 397 home-dwelling individuals aged 70 years or older with the ability to walk 10 m before the fracture. Cognitive function was measured at 1 month and other outcomes were assessed at 1, 4 and 12 months postoperatively. Mini-Mental State Examination was used to assess cognitive function, accelerometer-based body-worn sensors to register PA, Short Physical Performance Battery to test physical function and EuroQol-5-dimension-3-level to estimate the HRQoL. Data were analysed by linear mixed-effects models with interactions and ordinal
