ABSTRACT
Aim: This study aims to investigate and evaluate the relationship between quality of life and its subgroups in individuals aged 65 and older with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and without MCI.
Materials and Methods: A total of 109 volunteers aged 65-97 participated in our study. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale / Older Adults Module (WHOQOL/OLD) were applied.
Results: The relationship between total score of MoCA and WHOQOL/OLD scale is significant and moderate across groups (r= .567, p<0.01). In the MCI group, compared to those without MCI, no difference was found in the death and dying subcategory of WHOQOL/OLD, while scores were higher in the sensory functions subgroup and lower in the autonomy, social participation, past present-future activities, and intimacy subgroups (respectively; t=-,392, p=,696, t=-4,784, t=3,541 t=-4,319, t=-5,173, t=-5,568, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Our study revealed that the decline in cognitive levels in elderly individuals negatively affects their perception of quality of life. We believe that our results will contribute to the development of programs aimed at slowing down the physiological decline in mental functions during the aging process. Subsequent research should be designed to implement enriching cognitive programs and activities.
