This study analyzes interview data from 1,561 participants aged 80+ from the NRW80+ quality-of-life study. Groups were compared across close network, social activities, and loneliness, alongside depressive symptoms and positive affect. Cognitive impairment related to poorer social outcomes and reduced well-being, with moderation by cognitive status, especially for social engagement and depressive symptoms in major impairment.","598 Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2  \n-  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.2051  \nLIVING WELL WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT: SOCIAL CONNECTION, WELL-BEING, AND  \nCOGNITION IN VERY OLD AGE  \nSelina Vogel, and Susanne Zank, University of Cologne, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany  \nResearch emphasizes that social relationships protect against cognitive impairment. However, their role for individuals already  \nInnovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2 599  \nexperiencing cognitive impairment is less understood. For them, social connections may be crucial to maintain well-being.  \nTherefore, the present study examined the associations between cognitive impairment, social relationships, and psychological well-being in very old adults (80+ years), a high-risk group for cognitive decline.We analyzed data from proxy-and target-person interviews of 1.561 participants recruited for the Study on Quality of Life and Well-Being in North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW80+) . Participants were classified as having no cognitive impairment (66.80%), mild cognitive impairment (16.00%), or major cognitive impairment (17.20%). We compared the groups on three social factors (close network, social activities, and loneliness) and two well-being measures (depressive symptoms and positive affect) . Moreover, we investigated whether cognitive impairment moderated the associations between social factors and well-being. As anticipated, cognitive impairment was associated with lower social outcomes and reduced well-being.  \nAdditionally, social factors were associated with higher well-being, and these associations were partly moderated by cognitive status. Notably, the association between social engagement and depressive symptoms was more pronounced for individuals with major cognitive impairment compared to the other groups.  \nThe findings underscore the significance of social relationships for psychological well-being, especially in the presence of major cognitive impairment. They also demonstrate the general risk of reduced social and mental health faced by individuals with cognitive impairment. Further research is needed, as the topic is increasingly relevant due to the growing rates of cognitive impairment in our aging society.","cbCaibSmuuIQYrnK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibSmuuIQYrnK","pdf",1045656,17,"English","en",105,"# Study aims\n## Participants and classification\n## Measures and outcomes\n## Key results and moderation effects\n# Conclusions and implications","[{\"question\":\"What was the main goal of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine how cognitive impairment relates to social relationships and psychological well-being in adults aged 80 and above, and whether cognitive status moderates these links.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants grouped in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Participants were classified as having no cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment, or major cognitive impairment based on interview information.\"},{\"question\":\"Which social factor showed the strongest association with depressive symptoms for major impairment?\",\"answer\":\"Social engagement, with its association with depressive symptoms more pronounced in individuals with major cognitive impairment than in the other groups.\"}]","LIVING WELL WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT - Social Connection, Well-Being, and Cognition in Very Old Age - Issue 2 | PDF",1790626038,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":82},"ok",{"site_id":75,"language":74,"slug":83,"title":65,"keywords":84,"description":66,"schema_data":85,"social_meta":139,"head_meta":141,"extra_data":143,"updated_unix":144},"living-well-with-cognitive-impairment-social-connection-well-being-and-cognition-in-very-old-age-issue-2","",{"@graph":86,"@context":138},[87,101,121],{"@type":88,"itemListElement":89},"BreadcrumbList",[90,94,96,99],{"item":91,"name":92,"@type":93,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":95,"name":9,"@type":93,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":97,"name":35,"@type":93,"position":98},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":100,"name":65,"@type":93,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/living-well-with-cognitive-impairment-social-connection-well-being-and-cognition-in-very-old-age-issue-2/422013/",{"url":100,"name":65,"@type":102,"image":103,"author":108,"headline":65,"publisher":110,"fileFormat":113,"inLanguage":74,"description":66,"dateModified":114,"datePublished":115,"encodingFormat":113,"isAccessibleForFree":116,"interactionStatistic":117},"DigitalDocument",{"url":104,"@type":105,"width":106,"height":107},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/living-well-with-cognitive-impairment-social-connection-well-being-and-cognition-in-very-old-age-issue-2/422013.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":63,"@type":109},"Person",{"url":91,"name":111,"@type":112},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-07","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":118,"interactionType":119,"userInteractionCount":72},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":120},"ViewAction",{"@type":122,"mainEntity":123},"FAQPage",[124,130,134],{"name":125,"@type":126,"acceptedAnswer":127},"What was the main goal of the study?","Question",{"text":128,"@type":129},"To examine how cognitive impairment relates to social relationships and psychological well-being in adults aged 80 and above, and whether cognitive status moderates these links.","Answer",{"name":131,"@type":126,"acceptedAnswer":132},"How were participants grouped in the analysis?",{"text":133,"@type":129},"Participants were classified as having no cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment, or major cognitive impairment based on interview information.",{"name":135,"@type":126,"acceptedAnswer":136},"Which social factor showed the strongest association with depressive symptoms for major impairment?",{"text":137,"@type":129},"Social engagement, with its association with depressive symptoms more pronounced in individuals with major cognitive impairment than in the other groups.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":100,"og:type":140,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":111,"og:description":66},"article",{"robots":142,"canonical":100},"index,follow",{"doc_id":61,"site_id":75},1791032476]
