Geriatric rehabilitation is a prolonged and expensive process. There is a need to evaluate the rehabilitation potential because of the increasing number of elderly in the population and limited resources. Cognition is one of the components of occupational performance and its evaluation is a crucial part of comprehensive geriatric assessment. Cognitive evaluation is one of the predictors of function among elderly in the community and also assists in predicting their rehabilitation potential during hospitalization. High prevalence of cognitive decline with aging and the difficulties in its early assessment during hospitalization emphasizes the utmost importance of this evaluation in predicting the functional prognosis of the patient. This article reviews the main common tools for cognitive evaluation, which are in use clinically, and also used in research, for geriatric rehabilitation in Israel. These were compared with the principles of dynamic cognitive assessment. We aim to assess the need to add dynamic diagnostic tools to supplement those in common use. This will assist in providing an optimal mechanism for cognitive evaluation during geriatric rehabilitation.

Exp Aging Res
January 2025
Dental Research Center, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran.
Objective: Cognitive dysfunction is a significant issue in old age and can cause many problems in older adults, especially those with diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the association between oral health status and DMFT index with cognitive dysfunction in community-dwelling older adults with T2D (type 2 diabetes).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that included 245 older people aged 60 years and older with T2D, visiting healthcare centers in north of Iran, using the cluster sampling method.

Background: This study aims to investigate the associations between signal-level physical activity (PA) features derived from wrist accelerometry data and cognitive status in older adults, and to evaluate their potential predictive value when combined with demographics.
Methods: We analyzed PA data from 3,363 older adults (NHATS: n = 747; NHANES: n = 2,616), with each participant contributing a complete 3-day continuous activity sequence. We extracted the most relevant PA features associated with cognitive function using feature engineering and recursive feature elimination.

This study aims to assess the impact of comprehensive nursing care on sleep quality and rehabilitation duration in patients experiencing arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Eighty-four patients with post-AMI arrhythmia treated at our hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected and divided based on the nursing care received. The observation group (n = 44) underwent comprehensive nursing interventions, while the control group (n = 40) received standard nursing care.
