Rachmawati Rahim, Irma Muslimin

Abstract


Dementia will interfere with the daily activities of the elderly and the elderly's social relationships with their surroundings and even one of the causes of death in the elderly. As life expectancy increases, the number of elderly continues to increase. As similarly, the number of people with dementia.

The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with the incidence of dementia in the elderly in Binanga Community Health Centers in 2018.

The type of research used is analytic research with a cross-sectional design. The sample was obtained by purposive sampling as many as 124 respondents who met the inclusion criteria, namely the elderly who live in Binanga Community Health Centers, Mamuju Regency.

The results showed that there was an influence of age variable on the incidence of dementia by 15.1% and there was an occupation with the incidence of dementia with a p-value = 0.000.

It is hoped that there will be a program specifically for elderly to actively involve elderly so that they can be more productive and avoid dementia.
