Do Cognitive-Based Games And Activities Help Memory In Older Adults

As we get older, much of our body's abilities start to settle (Hedden & Gabrieli, 2004; Nilson, 2003; Basak, Book, Voss, & Kramer, 2008). Two important abilities of abrupt reduction are the ability to process information and memory (Schaie, 1996; Bopp & Verhaegen, 2005; Basak, Book, Voss, & Kramer, 2008). Medically, people lose risk of cognitive control after the age of 60 (Basak, Book, Voss, & Kramer, 2008). By 2030, the population aged 65 and older is estimated to increase to 71.5 million (Stineman, Xie, Pan, Kurichi, Saliba, & Streim, 2011).

Health literacy is associated with cognitive functions in multiple fields of the elderly. Unfortunately, elderly people may face additional memory and cognitive challenges, which may further limit their health literacy. It is widely believed that working age (Salthouse, 2010) and health literacy will decline with age (Baker, Gazmararian, Sudano, and Patterson, 2000). Result of Wolf et al. (2010), McDougall (2011) and Ganzer et al. (2012) We confirmed the relationship between cognition and health literacy in the elderly. Ganzer and other purposes. (2012) This is a survey of working memory and health literacy that may affect memory of signs of stroke of elderly people. Successfully remembering signs of stroke, you can immediately seek medical treatment and take steps to prevent harmful effects of stroke. In fact, multiple regression analysis showed that health literacy is the best predictor of stroke recall. Wolfe et al

Movement and cognitive research with the elderly can be traced back for decades. Recently, many positive lifestyle factors have been observed in prospective epidemiological studies, thereby strengthening the exercise-cognitive relationship of elderly people. This includes social interaction, diet and physical activity. These are related to maintaining cognitive function and reducing the risk of cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Studies investigating whether fitness training has a positive impact on various aspects of perception and perception of the elderly are increasingly randomized intervention studies. These studies usually call for healthy but sedentary adults between the ages of 60 and 85 and ask them to exercise several times a week for several years from the month. Evaluation of cognition and adaptability before and after intervention

Discussion that physical activity may have a positive effect on cognitive function is a powerful argument. This is used to encourage schools and the elderly to do more physical activity to improve or prevent cognitive decline. A meta-analysis of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of adult sports training studies between 55 and 80 years found that exercise was associated with increased cognitive function, especially for tasks involving more complex executive functions . A meta-analysis of prospective studies showed that baseline measurements of physical activity predict overall risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease 4: In the most active population, the risk of dementia is 28% Risk of Alzheimer's disease was reduced by 45%.
