摘要：This study examined the relationship between lifestyle and cognitive function in the elderly. The subjects were 92 community-dwelling elderly individuals (50 men and 42 women) over 65 years age. The survey items were designed to assess lifestyle and cognitive function. Lifestyle factors included exercise, diet and rest, and were measured using the Diagnostic Inventory of Health and Life Habit (DIHAL.2). The New Stroop Test II was used to measure cognitive function (information-processing speed and attention). The results indicated that men and women have different lifestyles, and specifically that women have better dietary habits. Multiple regression analyses showed that exercise, diet and rest were associated with information-processing speed and attention, significantly for men, but not for women. Lifestyle as a whole showed no association with information-processing speed or attention in either of the sexes separately. The present findings suggest that it may be necessary to examine the effects of lifestyle on cognitive function for men and women separately. Lifestyle may be important for preserving cognitive function such as information-processing speed and attention in elderly men.
