Objectives:The purpose of this study was to describe the status of mental activity participation in community-dwelling elder- ly and to evaluate the association between mental activity and cognitive function after adjustment for depression and anxiety. Methods:This study was based on the Suwon Project, which was a cohort comprising of nonrandom convenience samples of ethnic Koreans aged 60 years and above. All the subjects completed the study questionnaire including their demographic charac- teristics, current and past illnesses history, drug history, Korean version-Mini Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), Korean ver- sion of Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale (SGDS-K), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). We checked how many hours per day are used for each items of 11 mental activities through the checklist. Results:Total time spent in 11 mental activities was 237.4±152.4 minutes per day. On multiple regression analysis, total time spent in 11 mental activities (MA-total), and time spent by watching television and reading book/newspaper showed statistically significant association with K-MMSE score after adjustment with age, sex, education, chronic medical illness, depression and anxiety. Conclusion:Our result suggested that mental activity may be associated with cognitive function in the elderly without cogni- tive impairment in the community after adjusting age, sex, education, chronic medical illness, depression and anxiety.
