- Abstract
- Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is one of the most common complaints in older adults and may increase risk factors for dementia. Therefore, it is important to identify and manage risk factors for subjective cognitive function (SCF). Purpose: This study aimed to investigate factors influencing SCF in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: With a cross-sectional research design, 164 older adults responded to questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 23.0. Results: Participating in religious activities, sleeping well, a lower number of comorbidities, better perceived health status, lower depression, and higher self-esteem were associated with better SCF. Overall, approximately 24.9% of the variability in SCF was explained by perceived health status, religion, and depression. Conclusion: Multifaceted aspects must be considered when developing interventions to improve SCF in community-dwelling older adults who complain of experiencing SCD. © 2021
