| Research Abstract |
In a cohort of 277 elderly persons without dementia, we assessed current frequency of cognitive activity including the use of information technology, and cognitive functions. The cognitive functions were measured by means of MMSE, logical memory test, Money road test, Stroop test, D-CAT and verbal fluency test. We constructed a series of linear regression models to examine the association of cognitive activity with each cognitive function. In analyses controlling for age, sex, and education, more frequent cognitive activity was related to better performance in logical memory test and Stroop test. In addition, more frequent use of information technology was related to better performance in Money road test and D-CAT.
