简要总结
Fatigue is a common symptom in older adults, often linked to various medical conditions, medications, and psychosocial factors, and it can adversely affect both physical and cognitive performance in the aging population, contributing to functional decline and reduced quality of life.
Assessment of the physical impact of fatigue on physical and cognitive performance in older adults can offer valuable insights for clinical practice and holistic geriatric care. Therefore, this study will validate subjective tools used for measuring the impact of fatigue against objective measures.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome measure the difference in cognitive performance between older adults with and without fatigue, assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
时间窗: 6 months
compare the MoCA scores between the fatigued and non-fatigued groups using appropriate statistical methods (e.g., t-tests or ANCOVA adjusting for potential confounders). MOCA score is 30 with 18-25 = mild cognitive impairment, - 10-17= moderate cognitive impairment and - less than 10= severe cognitive impairment.
The primary outcome measure the difference in physical performance between older individuals with and without fatigue, assessed using 6 minutes walk test
时间窗: 6 months
The primary outcome will compare the 6 minutes walk test between the fatigued and non-fatigued groups using appropriate statistical methods (e.g., t-tests or ANCOVA adjusting for potential confounders).
