Aims The cognitive decline and dementia will reach epidemic proportions in older adults all over the world. Regular aerobic exercise has the
potential to improve cognitive function. The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between the oxygen uptake capacity and cognitive function in healthy older adults.
Methods 87 elderly people who finished the standard accepted cardiopulmonary exercise testing to assess their cardiopulmonary function and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) to assess cognitive function.
Results Higher VO2-AT, VO2/HR-AT, VO2-AT/VO2max-pred were associated with better RBANS total score (β = 21.01, 1.77, 0.32; p= 0.012,
0.022, 0.002). Higher Workload-peak and Workload-peak/Max-pred were associated with RBANS total score (β = 0.14, 0.15; p= 0.044, 0.019). Higher VO2-AT, VO2/HR-AT, VO2-AT/VO2max-pred and VE-AT were associated with Immediate memory (β = 21.14, 2.46, 0.26, 0.70; P=0.037, 0.008, 0.048, 0.036). ). Higher Workload-peak and Workload-peak/Max-pred were associated with Immediate memory Index (β = 0.26, 0.17; p = 0.002, 0.009).
Conclusions The cardiorespiratory fitness is related to the cognitive function in healthy older adults. VO2-AT, VO2/HR-AT, VO2-AT/VO2max-pred, WR peak, WR peak/max-pred are related to the RBANS total score and immediate memory Index. Higher aerobic cardiorespiratory function is the potential mechanism of better cognitive function in healthy elder persons.
