背景和目的以往的研究主要集中在影响老年人平衡功能的个体因素上。然而，老年人的平衡功能是否受到同时发生的多种因素的影响，以及这些因素中什么是主要的，目前尚不清楚。方法采用横断面研究设计，从社区招募100名老年人。每个参与者都被要求完成一份包含20个问题的问卷，这些问题涉及四个因素：社会人口统计、体育锻炼、睡眠状况和精神状况。然后，我们使用Microsoft Kinect™系统进行了两项平衡测试，评估了所有参与者的静态和动态平衡能力。我们使用Manova和FDR校正来分析每个因素，以确定哪些因素影响平衡参数。结果发现静态平衡功能主要受社会人口学因素、睡眠状况和心理状况的影响。动态平衡功能与体育锻炼、睡眠状况密切相关。此外，睡眠状况对静态平衡功能的影响大于对动态平衡功能的影响。我们还观察到静态平衡功能与心理状态之间的关系。结论多种因素与这些老年人的平衡功能有关。静态和动态平衡功能与不同的因素有关，这可能为老年人保持良好的平衡能力提供有用的信息。
Background and aimsPrevious studies have focused mainly on individual factors affecting the balance function of older adults. However, it is largely unknown whether the balance functions of older adults are affected by multiple factors occurring simultaneously, and what is predominant among these factors.MethodsWe adopted a cross-sectional study design and recruited 100 older adults from the community. Each participant was required to complete a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions related to four factors: sociodemographic, physical exercise, sleep condition and mental condition. We then evaluated all participants’ static and dynamic balance abilities using two balance tests performed using the Microsoft Kinect™ system. We used MANOVA and FDR corrections to analyze each factor to determine which factors affected the balance parameters. Last, we identified the major factors related to balance by computing the percentage of primary factors with significant effects for each factor.ResultsWe found that static balance function was mainly affected by sociodemographic factors, sleep condition and mental condition. The dynamic balance function showed close relationships with physical exercise and sleep condition. Furthermore, sleep condition had a larger effect on static balance function than on dynamic balance function. We also observed an association between static balance function and mental condition.ConclusionA wide range of factors were associated with balance function in these older adults. The static and dynamic balance functions were related with different factors; this might provide useful information for older adults on maintaining good balance ability.
