Overview

Cross-sectional study shows health awareness impacts dementia risk in older adults with hypertension and diabetes, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Improved health awareness is linked to reduced dementia risk among older adults with chronic diseases.
  • Significant predictors of cognitive function include perceived susceptibility to complications and perceived disease severity.
  • Data was collected via structured questionnaires, with analysis conducted using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression.
  • Findings highlight the need for health education to enhance cognitive health, though cross-sectional design limits causal inference.
