Abstract

Elderly is a phase of human development, the elderly are often associated with the inability to carry out daily activities and often experience various degenerative diseases. The elderly also experience a decrease in organ and physiological functions from cognitive, physical and psychological functions. So one of these problems is the change in cognitive function which is fatal in the daily life of the elderly, it is necessary to deepen more complex material to improve cognitive function, cognitive function is inseparable from the role of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the purpose of this study is to describe how the role of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the elderly. Cognitive function plays an important role in a person's mental function in the process of thinking and providing stimulation to the environment while undergoing daily activities.
