Overview

This cross-sectional pilot study shows lower quality of life linked to fewer activities in cognitively intact residents, suggesting improvements are needed.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate activity diversity and its association with health-related quality of life in cognitively intact long-term care residents.
  • Cross-sectional design examining 45 cognitively intact residents from three Japanese facilities.
  • Assessment of daily activities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
  • Utilized linear mixed models to analyze associations between activities and QoL.
  • Employed propensity score matching to compare results with community-dwelling older adults.
  • Cognitively intact residents participated in significantly fewer activities (12.5 activities, p < 0.001).
  • Residents had lower physical component summary scores compared to community-dwelling older adults (p < 0.001).
  • Positive association found between social activities and physical component of SF-36 (B = 2.5, p = 0.002).
