参加体育团体是预防意外功能残疾的关键。对老年人参加体育团体的相关性知之甚少，尽管这有助于制定有效的健康战略。本研究的目的是确定人口和生物，心理社会，行为，社会和文化，以及环境的相关性，体育团体参与日本老年人。数据来自日本老年学评价研究，该研究是一项基于人群的队列研究，招募了来自日本31个城市的年龄≥65岁的无残疾人群（n = 78，002）。Poisson回归分析用于确定这些因素与参与运动组之间的关联。非经常参加体育团体与较低的教育水平，被雇用，并在农业/林业/渔业工作时间最长的人口和生物因素和不良的自我评价的健康和抑郁的心理社会因素。在行为因素中，目前吸烟呈负相关，目前饮酒与经常参加体育团体呈正相关。在社会和文化因素中，有情感上的社会支持和参加业余爱好俱乐部，老年人俱乐部，或志愿者团体与体育团体的参与率高。感知公园或人行道的存在，良好的商店，良好的无障碍设施与参与体育团体之间的环境因素呈正相关。我们的研究表明，促进可以增加老年人参与体育团体的活动应该考虑广泛的人口统计学和生物学，心理社会，行为，社会和文化以及环境因素。虽然未来的纵向研究，以阐明因果关系是必要的，通过社交网络，鼓励参与社区团体可能是有效的参与体育团体。
Participation in a sports group is key for the prevention of incident functional disability. Little is known about the correlates of older adults’ participation in sports groups, although this could assist with the development of effective health strategies. The purpose of this study was to identify the demographic and biological, psychosocial, behavioral, social and cultural, and environmental correlates of sports group participation among Japanese older adults. Data were obtained from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation study, which was a population–based cohort of people aged ≥65 years without disability enrolled from 31 municipalities across Japan (n = 78,002). Poisson regression analysis was used to determine the associations between the factors and participation in sports groups. Non-regular participation in sports groups was associated with lower educational level, being employed, and working the longest in the agricultural/forestry/fishery industry among the demographic and biological factors and poor self-rated health and depression among the psychosocial factors. Of the behavioral factors, current smoking was negatively associated and current drinking was positively associated with regular participation in sports groups. Among the social and cultural factors, having emotional social support and participating in hobby clubs, senior citizen clubs, or volunteer groups were associated with a high prevalence of participation in sports groups. Perceptions of the presence of parks or sidewalks, good access to shops, and good accessibility to facilities were positively associated with participation in sports groups among the environmental factors. Our study suggests that the promotion of activities that could increase older adults’ participation in sports groups should consider a broad range of demographic and biological, psychosocial, behavioral, social and cultural, and environmental factors. Although future longitudinal studies to elucidate the causal associations are needed, encouraging participation in community groups through social networks might be effective for participation in sports groups.
