20.500.12556/RUP-22678 Differences in physical function across dementia subtypes and cognitive decline a cross-sectional study Cognitive impairment significantly affects physical function in dementia patients, but variations across dementia types and levels of cognitive decline remain unclear. This retrospective cross-sectional study included 874 patients (80.75 ± 8.00 years; 60.4% female) with different dementia types and cognitive impairment levels. Six physical function tests were admisterd: the De Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI), 6-minute walking test (6MTW), 10-meter walking test (10MWT), hand grip strength (HGS), 30-second chair stand (30sSTS), and the timed “Up & Go” test (TUG). Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The Mild Cognitive Imapirment (MCI) group outperformed Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) and Vascular Dementia (VaD) on DEMMI, 30sSTS and HGS (p < 0.001, η² = 0.012 to 0.052). Differences in the 6MWT were significant in ANOVA but disappeared after adjusting for sex and age (p = 0.066). Severe cognitive impairment was linked to significantly lower physical performance across all measures (p < 0.001, η² = 0.037 to 0.064). Physical function profiles vary by dementia type and cognitive decline level, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address specific physical challenges. dementia cognitive decline physical function demenca kognitivni upad telesna funkcija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-22 23:46:40 2026-02-22 23:46:44 2026-02-23 03:04:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 228-236 no. 3, [article no.] 13726 Vol. 35 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-05-29 796.02:616.892.3 2037-7460 10.4081/ejtm.2025.13726 238647043 https://www.pagepressjournals.org/bam/article/view/13726/13125 1 5e8e9886-1040-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33010 RAZ_Batic_Kristina_2025.pdf RAZ_Batic_Kristina_2025.pdf 1 54BB7FCDBE9D505E74371DF6FFF75E18 0331c183ec6d77842b82c70a159835e8c0815002d7a23116cad7ffd4c1af9a6a 6e70d7b5-1042-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33011 Fakulteta za vede o zdravju 0 0 0
