Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function in elderly residents at a nursing home in Surabaya. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 76 respondents selected randomly. Physical activity was measured using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), while cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The results indicated that the majority of respondents had moderate levels of physical activity (55%) and cognitive function (45%). Spearman Rank correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between physical activity and cognitive function (p = 0.003). This relationship suggests that increased physical activity is associated with improved cognitive function in the elderly. These findings underscore the importance of implementing structured physical activity programs as a non pharmacological approach to maintaining cognitive health and enhancing the quality of life among the elderly.
