Abstract

Abstract: Aging is progressive declining process of many body functions, including cognitive function. Cognitive function is a conscious mental activity such as thinking, memory, learning, as well as language, and can be evaluated by using INA-MoCA. Chess is a popular game that requires intelligence. Some researchers believe that there is a close relation between cognitive function and chess. This study was aimed to determine whether there was any difference between the cognitive function of chess players and non-chess player. This was an analytic study with a cross-sectional study. Primary data were obtained from INA-MoCA score of the chess players and non-chess players. The results showed that in non-elderly category, the average score of INA-MoCA indicated that chess players had higher cognitive functions than non-chess players (p=0.43). In elderly category, the average score of INA-MoCA indicated that the chess players had better cognitive function than the non-chess players by 2.77 (p=0.03). Conclusion: Either elderly or non-elderly, chess players had higher cognitive function than non-chess players.
