研究表明，晚年焦虑与认知，特别是注意力和执行功能之间存在着相互作用的关系。虽然有证据支持焦虑的认知维度和躯体维度之间的概念上的区别，但它们与认知结果的不同关系尚未得到研究，特别是在依赖于加工速度的注意力/执行功能测试中。研究目标有三个：(A)描述非痴呆症老年人样本中总体、认知和躯体焦虑的水平，(B)确定总体焦虑是否与特定的注意力/执行功能指标的表现有关，这些指标取决于加工速度，以及(C)确定认知和躯体焦虑与认知表现之间是否存在差异关系。参与者是368名居住在社区的老年人。结果表明，躯体焦虑水平的提高，而不是认知焦虑水平的提高，与各项指标上的较差表现有关。研究结果表明，焦虑症状的性质可能对老年人的认知表现有重要影响。
Research suggests a reciprocal relationship between late-life anxiety and cognition, particularly attention and executive functions. Whereas evidence supports a conceptual distinction between cognitive and somatic dimensions of anxiety, their differential relationship with cognitive outcomes has not been examined, particularly on tests of attention/executive functions that rely on processing speed. Study goals were threefold: (a) to describe levels of overall, cognitive, and somatic anxiety in a sample of older adults without dementia, (b) to determine if overall anxiety is associated with performance on select measures of attention/executive functions that rely on processing speed, and (c) to determine if a differential relationship exists between cognitive and somatic anxiety and cognitive performance. Participants were 368 community-dwelling older adults. Results showed that elevated levels of somatic, but not cognitive anxiety were associated with poorer performance across measures. Findings suggest that the nature of anxiety symptoms may have important implications for cognitive performance in older adults.
