Abstract

Each year in the world, especially in Indonesia, many elderly people exposed to higher risk of dementia due to an increased number of the elderly population and the incidence of mild cognitive impairment in the elderly. The aim of this study is to find out what factors are related with cognitive function in the elderly population. The study used analytic method with cross sectional study design. Subjects were 60 elderly people; male or female ≥ 60 years old. Data were analysed with Chi Square Test (α = 0.05). Cognitive function was measured by MMSE test. The result were found a significant relation between age and cognitive function ( p = 0.014), level of education and cognitive function (p value = 0.000), physical activity and cognitive function (p value = 0.003), cognitive activity and cognitive function (p value = 0.002), and social interaction and cognitive function (p value = 0.000). Gender variable did not have relation with cognitive function (p value = 0.343). This study conclude that there was a relation between age, education level, physical activity, cognitive activity and social interaction with cognitive function in the elderly population. There was no relation between gender and cognitive function in the elderly population.Keywords: cognitive function, cognitive impairment, elderly, MMSE

Abstract

Elderly people are a group of people with age of 60 and above. Studies in United States showed one-third of elderly people experienced fall in their houses and one-forty of them need bedrest in hospital. Falling can cause physical and mental injury. Physical injury manifests as fracture, hematoma, bruises, and dislocation, and mental injury manifests as lack of self esteem. This study aimed to examine the relation between age and gender on risk of fall on elderly people. This is a cross-sectional analytical study involving 23 elderly people from Tulus Kasih Elderly Home that met the inclusion criteria. Risk of fall were checked with Timed Up and Go Test. The data acquired were analyzed with chi-square with α = 0,05. As results, age significantly affected risk of fall (p=0.019) but gender did not (p=0.265). We concluded the risk of falling is increased with age and unaffected by gender.Keywords : age, gender, risk of fall, timed up and go test

Abstract

Rhythm, melody, and high frequencies in Mozart’s music are capable to stimulate creativity and motivation regions of the brain and activate brain’s areas, especially the prefrontal area of the brain, which contributes to short-term memory. Listening to Mozart ‘s music can enhance concentration because it stimulates alpha brain waves which induce relaxation and peaceful mood. The objectives of this study were to determine the Mozart’s effect towards short-term memory and concentration. This is a quasi-experimental study using pre- and post-test design, performed to 30 adult women aged between 19-24 years old. The measured data were memorized words from recall memory test and duration to finish traffic jam puzzle, before and after listening to Mozart Sonata K448 for Two Pianos in D-major 2nd Movement. Data were analyzed using paired t-test with ? = 0.05.The results showed that there is a significant difference of words remembered before and after listening to music (35,43±6,70444 vs 73±4,727; p<0,01) and duration to finish traffic jam puzzle (125,60±149,939vs 53,67±69,652 seconds ; p<0,01). We concluded that Mozart’s music improves short-term memory and concentration. Keywords: Mozart’s sonata, short-term memory,concentration

Abstract

Classical and jazz music activates ? brain wave that stimulate the excretion of ?-endorphins that has a role in increasing the alertness and attention. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of classical and jazz background-music to the concentration and reading comprehension. This is a quasi experimental study, with pre-test and post-test design, performed on 30 young adult women. The measured data were Addition and reading comprehension test scores before and while listening to music. Data were analyzed using paired t-test with and non paired t-test with ?=0.05. The results showed that there were highly significant differences of Addition Test score (547.73) and reading comprehension test score (80.33) with classical music background; Addition Test score (577.47) and reading comprehension test score (78.33) with jazz music background compared to pre-treatment of classical (457.57; 61.67) (p<0.01); and jazz music (538.07; 65.00) (p<0.01) respectively. The comparison of both types of music showed no difference of Addition Test score and reading comprehension test score (p>0.05). We concluded classical and jazz background music improve concentration and reading comprehension in young adult women, with no significant differences in both types of background music. Keywords: concentration, reading comprehension, background music, classical, jazz

Abstract

Attention and memory are influenced by anxiety. This study aimed to analyze the effect of coloring therapy on the improvement of attention and short-term memory function in young adult women with anxiety. The analytic quasi-experimental method was used with pre-test and post-test design. The measured data were attention (Stroop test score) and short-term memory (Scenery Picture Memory Test / SPMT score). The subjects were 25 female university students with anxiety (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale / DASS-42 score ?8). This study showed the mean Stroop test scores of pre-test and post-test were 136.20 and 72.60 seconds subsequently, and the mean SPMT scores of pre-test and post-test were 17.88 and 20.92 subsequently. Wilcoxon's statistical analysis test with ?=0.05 showed a p-value of 0.000 for both the Stroop test and SPMT score (highly significant). We concluded that coloring therapy improved attention and short-term memory function in young adult women with anxiety. Keywords: coloring therapy, attention, short-term memory, cognitive, anxiety

Abstract

Kelelahan dan kurang tidur pada pemain basket dapat menyebabkan penurunan kewaspadaan dan fungsi eksekutif sehingga mengganggu kinerja olahraga. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) akut terhadap peningkatan kewaspadaan dan fungsi eksekutif pada pemain basket. Metode penelitian ini adalah eksperimental semu yang bersifat analitik dengan desain pre test-post test. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 30 orang laki- laki pemain basket yang diberi perlakuan HIIT dengan melakukan 12 gerakan yang masing – masing gerakannya berdurasi 30 detik dan diselingi dengan istirahat antara gerakan satu dengan gerakan lainnya selama 10 detik sesuai dengan aplikasi 7-minute workout dalam satu kali pertemuan (akut). Data yang diukur adalah waktu (detik) yang dibutuhkan dalam menyelesaikan Johnson-Pascal Test dan Trail Making Test Part ‘B’ sebelum dan sesudah melakukan HIIT. Analisis data menggunakan uji “t” berpasangan (? = 0,05). Hasil penelitian rerata Johnson Pascal Test post test 108,17 detik (SD ± 14,842) lebih cepat daripada rerata pre test 129,43 detik (SD ± 19,977) (p<0,05). Hasil rerata Trail Making Test Part ‘B’ post test 29,64 detik (SD ± 11,99) lebih cepat daripada rerata pre test 44,91 detik (SD ± 16,33) (p<0,05). Disimpulkan bahwa HIIT akut meningkatkan kewaspadaan dan fungsi eksekutif pada pemain basket. Kata kunci: HIIT; kewaspadaan; fungsi eksekutif; kurang tidur; pemain basket

Abstract

Resistance training has grown in importance for managing oxidative stress, particularly in adults, as it enhances muscle development and overall health. However, it also leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can result in cellular oxidative damage and potentially hasten the aging process. This review assesses the role of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, in counteracting oxidative stress during resistance training, with a focus on its effects on aging. This study employs a narrative review methodology, evaluating peer-reviewed publications from 2019 to 2024. Keywords used include "Aging," "Antioxidant," "Astaxanthin," "Oxidative Stress," and "Adults." Twenty-five articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The findings suggest that astaxanthin supplementation notably decreases oxidative stress markers, particularly plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, in individuals undergoing resistance training. On a molecular level, astaxanthin activates the Nrf2 pathway, which is responsible for regulating antioxidant enzyme production and supports mitochondrial biogenesis through the PGC-1α pathway. This dual mechanism not only reduces oxidative damage but also enhances energy metabolism, helping maintain cellular function and delaying age-related decline. In conclusion, incorporating astaxanthin supplements into resistance training routines offers promising potential for reducing oxidative stress and promoting healthy aging in adults.
