摘要

老化對認知功能有負面影響，國際早已有許多研究對高齡者的認知功能和身體適能之關係進行探討，反觀國內相關研究極少，因此，本研究目的為探究台灣高齡者認知功能與身體適能之關係。73位平均年齡74.52±6.23歲的高齡者參與本研究，進行九項身體適能檢測：身體組成、30秒手臂彎舉、30秒坐椅站立、坐椅前彎、抓背、2.44公尺坐立繞物、開眼單足立、兩分鐘原地抬膝及10公尺步行測驗。認知功能以SWCT評估。所得資料以皮爾遜積差相關進行分析。研究結果發現身體組成BMI與認知功能有的正相關，肌肉適能、動靜態平衡、心肺適能與走路速度與認知功能皆有正向關聯，而上下肢柔軟度則沒有發現其相關性。本研究提供台灣高齡者身體適能與認知功能之間相關性之了解，確立其關係之路徑則有賴更多研究共同探究。

Aging has a negative effect on cognitive function. Many studies abroad have conducted many discussions on the relationship between the cognitive function and physical fitness of the elderly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the cognitive function and physical fitness of elderly people in Taiwan. 73 seniors with an average age of 74.52±6.23 years participated in this study. Nine physical fitness tests were performed: body composition, 30s arm curl, 30s chair stand, seated forward bending, back scratch, time up-to-go, single leg stand, 2-minute step, and 10 m walking test. Cognitive function was evaluated by SWCT. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient. Our findings revealed a positive correlation between body composition BMI and cognitive function. Strength fitness, dynamic and static balance, cardiopulmonary fitness and walking speed were positively correlated with cognitive function, but upper- and lower-body flexibility were found to be unrelated. This study provides an understanding of the correlation between physical fitness and cognitive function of the elderly in Taiwan, but the way to establish its relationship requires further studies.
