简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the cognitive function, physical function, and pain levels of community-dwelling older adults to determine the impact of cognitive ability on physical function and pain. It also seeks to establish foundational data for strategies to prevent dementia and sarcopenia.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the cognitive function (overall cognition, executive function, memory, attention, etc.), physical function (muscle mass, muscle strength, gait and balance ability), and pain of community-dwelling older adults, and to analyze the correlations between these factors.

结局指标
主要结局
Overall cognitive function: MoCA-K
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks
Cognitive function will be assessed using the MoCA-K.
Skeletal Muscle Mass Index
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks
The skeletal muscle mass index is the sum of limb muscle mass divided by the square of height (kg/m²).
Grip strength
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.
Grip strength will be measured using a dynamometer. The subject will sit in a chair with arms extended, elbows bent at 90 degrees, forearms at a natural angle, and wrists in a dorsal flexion position between 0 and 30 degrees. The subject will grip the dynamometer for 3 seconds, and the average value (kg) will be recorded after 3 attempts.
Lower Limb Strength
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.
5 Sit-to-Stand (5xSST) measures the time (seconds) it takes for the subject to transition from a seated position to a standing position and back to a seated position five times. A shorter time indicates better muscle strength. The subject is instructed to cross their arms over their chest, avoid leaning their back or legs against the chair, and perform the sit-to-stand motion five times as quickly as possible.
Level of musculoskeletal pain
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.
For participants with musculoskeletal pain, the level of pain will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), where 10 indicates the most severe pain and 0 indicates no pain.
次要结局
- The Word Memory Test(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
- Executive function and attention(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
- Executive function(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
- Dynamic Balance(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
- Spatio-temporal gait variables(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
- Subjective Cognitive Decline(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
- Static Balance in Three Positions(From enrollment to the end of evaluation within 1weeks.)
