Systematic identification and quantification of factors and their interactions with age, sex, and panel wave influencing cognitive function in Korean older adults by Eunmi Kim, Eunmi Kim, Jinkyung Oh, Jinkyung Oh, Jungsoo Gim, Jungsoo Gim, Jungsoo Gim, Iksoo Huh, Iksoo Huh

“…In addition, the group-wise delta R2 values were found to be 10.9, 6.3, and 5.9% in the difficult-to-modify, modifiable, and non-modifiable factor groups, respectively. Afterwards, we provided the delta R2 for each sub-population divided by the levels of age, sex, and wave number to examine how these factors changed the influences.ConclusionBased on the interaction and quantification results, we elucidated the characteristics of the influencing factors and their degrees of influence, and we suggest grouping factors based on their modifiability to systematically prevent cognitive decline in older adults.…”
