GANGGUAN GERAK DAN FUNGSI KOGNITIF PADA WANITA LANJUT USIA
Abstract: The greater number
of elderly people in Indonesia show that there is an increase of people’s life
expectancy in Indonesia. Elderly people experience structural and functional
changes in their bio-logical structures. Functional status is part of health
status, and it shows capability to do daily activities. This concept is
integrated in three main domains, namely, biological, psychological (cognitive
and affective) and social functions. Physical activities have correlation with
cognitive function. The aim of this research was to know the correlation
between movement disturbance and cognitive function of elderly women. Design of
this research was survey/observational study with cross-sectional approach. Respondents
of this research were 36 women of 60-74 years-old who live in Panti Wredha
Aisiyah and Panti Wredha Dharma Bakti Surakarta. The movement disturbance was
measured using question-naire and Katz Index. Cognitive functions of the
respondents are examined using Mini Mental Status. Statistical analysis of
Product Moment and chi-square were used to analize data. Result of this
re-search indicated that there was correlation between age and movement
disturbance and there was not any correlation between age and cognitive
disturbance. Statistical test of chi-square showed that con-tribution of
movement disturbance on cognitive function was 65%.
