目的探讨认知功能下降对家庭支出的影响。方法面板数据涵盖2007-2009年，来自日本老龄化和退休研究，数据提取自253名65岁及以上的参与者。分析中使用了社会人口特征、功能状态、抑郁症状和每月家庭支出（不包括住房支出（例如抵押贷款））。认知功能通过延迟回忆和连续7分进行评估，并以两项得分之和表示。支出和认知功能得分的变化是通过从2009年的得分中减去2007年的得分来计算的。参与者被分为两组：认知下降和无认知下降。估计了认知能力下降对家庭支出变化的影响。结果虽然2009年认知功能下降组的抑郁症状比无认知功能下降组严重，但认知功能下降是唯一与家庭支出变化相关的因素。结论老年人认知功能下降可能导致家庭支出减少。关注家庭消费行为的变化可能有助于发现老年人的认知障碍。
Aim The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive decline on household spending. Methods The panel data covered the years 2007-2009 and were taken from the Japanese Study of Aging and Retirement, with data extracted for 253 participants aged 65 years and over. Sociodemographic characteristics, functional status, depressive symptoms, and monthly household spending excluding spending for shelter (e.g. mortgage) were used in the analysis. Cognitive function was evaluated by delayed recall and serial 7s and represented by the sum of both scores. Changes in spending and cognitive function scores were calculated by subtracting 2007 scores from 2009 scores. Participants were divided into two groups: cognitive decline and no cognitive decline. The effect of cognitive decline on changes in household spending was estimated. Results Although the cognitive decline group had more severe depressive symptoms than the no cognitive decline group in 2009, cognitive decline was the only factor related to change in household spending. Conclusion The results imply that cognitive decline may cause a decline in household spending in older people. Focusing on changes in household spending behaviour might help detect cognitive impairment in older people.
