Objective

This study investigated the effect of “Healthy Mahjong” on the cognitive function of elderly persons who enrolled in the Healthy Mahjong Class in Saga City.

Methods

Participants were 89 healthy elderly persons (Mean age 72.0, SD 6.5) and played Mahjong once a week for 20 weeks. All participants completed Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Battery at Bedside (FAB), Trail Making Test (TMT) Part A and Part B, and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15 at pre- and post- Mahjong class. They were divided into two groups based on the MMSE score [Group A(GA) ≦ 26, Group B(GB) ≧ 27]. All participants were also asked to answer a questionnaire regarding their daily activities at post-Mahjong class. A multivariate analysis of covariance and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyze data.

Results

GA showed significant differences in MMSE serial 7 (p<0.01) and total scores (p<0.05), TMT-A (p<0.05), and GDS-15 (p<0.05). The result of the questionnaire showed that the Healthy Mahjong provided them with a sense of fulfillment in their daily life and a motivation of trying new things and a human interaction.

Conclusion

These results suggested the positive effect of Healthy Mahjong on cognitive function. Additionally, Healthy Mahjong might enrich their everyday lives.
