Influence of diabetes and physical exercise, mental and recreational activities practice o

A cross-sectional study of 158 older adults (mean age 72.63±6.84 years, 75% women) assessed for cognitive function, anxiety, and depression. The data was collected by researcher Liane da Silva de Vargas to examine the influence of diabetes and participation in third age group activities. Participants were divided into four groups based on diabetes status and activity participation.

Use Cases

• Compare cognitive scores (MMSE, RIP, RTP, FF) between diabetic and non-diabetic elderly groups.
• Analyze associations between activity participation and emotional issues (anxiety via STAI, depression via GDS).
• Investigate the combined effect of diabetes and lifestyle on cognitive losses mentioned in the study conclusion.

Strengths

• Study design includes 158 participants with a defined mean age and gender distribution (72.63±6.84 years, 75% women).
• Uses standardized clinical assessment protocols (MMSE, STAI, GDS) for cognitive and emotional evaluation.
• Groups are clearly defined by diabetes status and participation in third age group activities.

Limitations

• Row count for the underlying dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
