ABSTRAK

Intervensi pemakanan berpotensi untuk melambatkan penurunan fungsi kognitif dalam kalangan warga tua yang mengalami kecelaan kognitif ringan (MCI). Walau bagaimanapun, kemampanan program sedemikian masih belum dapat dipastikan. Oleh itu, suatu kajian susulan dijalankan bagi menentukan kemampanan suplementasi minyak ikan dan pendidikan kesihatan bagi mengurangkan kemerosotan fungsi kognitif dalam kalangan warga tua yang mengalami MCI selepas setahun kajian intervensi dijalankan. Kajian ini melibatkan 18 orang subjek MCI iaitu 6 orang bagi setiap kumpulan intervensi suplementasi minyak ikan (A) dan pendidikan kesihatan (B) dan kumpulan kawalan (C). Analisis menunjukkan kesan intervensi yang signifikan bagi ujian Span Digit (p<0.05) dan aras serum folat (p<0.05) dengan kumpulan B menunjukkan min yang paling tinggi, diikuti dengan A dan C. Intervensi pendidikan kesihatan dan suplementasi minyak ikan mempunyai kesan kemampanan bagi meningkatkan aras serum folat dan memperbaiki status fungsi kognitif yang dinilai menggunakan Ujian Span Digit. Terdapat keperluan bagi promosi kesihatan dan suplementasi minyak ikan dalam mengekalkan fungsi kognitif individu warga tua yang mengalami MCI.

ABSTRACT

Nutrition interventions has good potential in delaying cognitive decline among elderly with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the sustainability of these programmes are still uncertain. Thus, a study has been conducted to determine the sustainability of fish oil supplementation and health education among elderly with MCI after one year of intervention. 18 subjects with MCI involved in this study with 6 persons were grouped into 3 different groups which is fish oil supplementation intervention (A), health education intervention (B) and control group (C), respectively. Analysis showed there were significant difference for intervention effect in Digit Span (p<0.05) and folat serum level (p<0.05) for group B with highest mean difference followed by group A and C. Health education and fish oil supplementation intervention have sustainability effect to increase folate serum level and to improve cognitive function using Digit Span Test. Thus, there is a need for health promotion and fish oil supplementation for cognitive function among elderly with MCI.
