Senile asthenia is an old-age syndrome. Patients have increased vulnerability due to degenerative changes in the body and a variety of chronic diseases. Senile asthenia involves multiple bodily system functions of patients and is a pre-disease state. Its incidence shows an upward trend with the increase in the age. This study takes community health service as the breakthrough point to explore the role of community legal awareness health management in improving the cognitive function of elderly frail patients, hoping to provide references for improving the health level of elderly frail patients.
660 elderly patients who were hospitalized at our hospital from June to December 2021 were selected as the study objects and were randomly divided into the management intervention group and the general group, with 30 cases each. Both groups of patients were given basic disease treatment and in-hospital rehabilitation guidance, while the management intervention group increased community legal awareness of health management services at community health service stations. The cognitive function of patients was evaluated by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The senile weakness, cognitive function score, and quality of life of the two groups of patients were compared and analyzed.
It can be seen from the comparison of the cognitive function scores of the two groups of patients that the cognitive function level of the management intervention group is significantly higher than that of the conventional group. The cognitive function score of the management intervention group after treatment is 26.46±2.39 points, and that of the conventional group after treatment is 23.58±2.41 points. The difference between the two groups is statistically significant (P < 0.05). As shown in Table 1.Table 1.
MMSE scores of two groups of patients before and after treatment

After treatment | 26.46±2.39 | 23.58±2.41 | 6.398 | <0.05 |

Carrying out community legal awareness health management services can effectively improve the cognitive function level of the elderly and weak patients, and promote the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly and weak patients. Publicizing legal awareness to the elderly and weak patients and carrying out community health and health management services can help the elderly and weak patients solve their life problems in time. Legal awareness management education with disease prevention and health education can promote cognitive function training and improvement of the elderly and weak patients.
