Abstract

Introduction: The world is entering an aging population. With aging comes many challenges due to changes of the brain structure that affect both cognitive function and balance. The amount of cognitive function and balance impairment cases in the elderly are rising. If left unattended, it can cause numerous adverse effects in the elderly, eventually leading to the loss of the ability to perform activities of daily living. Studies have observed the relationship between cognitive impairment and balance in Indonesia, but only a few were conducted in Jakarta, specifically among elders in the nursing home. This study is aimed to observe the association between cognitive function and balance in the elderly.Methods: This is a secondary analysis using a previous study conducted in PSTW Budi Mulia Jakarta in 2016. Demographic data, cognitive function, and balance were assessed using the demographic questionnaire, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS).

We found a significant relationship between cognitive functions and balance (p=0,045).Conclusion: Cognitive function is related to balance impairment in the elderly.

Abstract

Cysticercosis occurs in porcine naturally. A human can be infected by cysticercosis if they swallow Taenia solium's egg inadvertently. These eggs can be found in vegetables or unboiled water. These eggs hatch and later will become larva that becomes cysts in muscle or brain, known as cysticercus cellulose. Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by Taenia solium at its larval stage. Indonesia is a developing country with a high incidence rate of neurocysticercosis, with the highest amount of cases found in Bali and Papua. Neurocysticercosis boasts a broad array of clinical symptoms, from silent disease to a severe, debilitating illness that leads to death. The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis itself presents a great challenge, due to the unspecific clinical symptoms, in-pathognomonic radiographic findings and serologic studies with low specificity and sensitivity. The management of neurocysticercosis consists of a combination of antiparasitic agents and supportive therapies, ranging from steroid to surgeries that can be done under certain circumstances.
