摘要

本研究目的是以日常生活模式及習慣，找出阿茲海默氏症與正常控制組之差異性，並進一步探討日常生活模式及習慣與失智症之關係。本研究方法採取大於65歲138名為施測對象，其中屬於阿茲海默氏症患者共64名，正常控制組共74名，分別施測簡易智能狀態評估量表，臨床失智評分表，知能篩檢測驗及一般基本問卷，並針對各項因素做一評估。本研究以SPSS統計方法，針對二組做統計分析，二組之間並無年齡、性別上之差異。針對所有變項，再以邏輯式複迴歸分析則顯示在目前居住狀態、有無智能活動、吃維他命及教育年數等四分項之間有顯著之差異。預防阿茲海默氏症，我們應針對我們可以改變的生活型態，如加強老年人多做智能活動的宣導，應補充一些維他命，盡量能與伴侶同住及盡可能的退而不休，多參與社區大學的活動，同時也可增加人際之間的互動，如此也可減緩阿茲海默氏症的發生。

Background: This report used the life-style behaviors and habits of patients in order to understand the differences between Alzheimer disease (AD) and the normal control.
Methods: We used MMSE, CDR, CASI and demographic variables to study these subjects. There were 64 AD patients and 74 normal controls. By using the outcome, we were able evaluate the relationship between the MMSE performance and demographic variables.
Result: We used SPSS statistic method to analysis the two groups in which we found no statistic age and gender differences. After which, lineal regression model was used to analysis all items. The result demonstrated that there were significant differences in marital status, intelligence activity, use of vitamins and education levels between the two groups.
Conclusion: These findings suggested that cognitive function appeared to exert a significant difference on marital status, intelligence activity, use of vitamins and education levels in AD patients. Therefore, a simple change of life style or habits can prevent the occurrence of AD.
