COVID-19疫情影响了人们生活的多个方面。为减少COVID-19传播而采取的封锁措施对70岁以上的人群更为严格，因为他们是该疾病的最高风险人群。在这里，我们研究了在苏格兰COVID-19封锁期间，家庭花园的使用是否与老年人自我报告的精神和身体健康有关。这项研究分析了来自1936年洛锡安出生队列研究的171名个体（平均年龄84 ± 0.5岁）的数据，这些个体在封锁开始后约两个月（2020年5月/6月）完成了在线调查，并报告可以进入家庭花园。该调查还包括有关花园活动（园艺、放松）、封锁期间使用花园的频率以及自我评估的身体健康、情绪和心理健康、对COVID-19的焦虑和睡眠质量的测量。有序回归模型调整性别，独居，教育，职业社会阶层，焦虑和抑郁症状，体重指数，糖尿病和心血管疾病史。园艺和在花园里放松都与健康结果无关。然而，在调整协变量后，在锁定期间使用花园的频率较高与更好的自测身体健康（P = 0.005），情绪和心理健康（P = 0.04），睡眠质量（P = 0.03）和综合健康评分（P = 0.001）相关。没有一个花园措施与身体健康，心理和情绪健康或睡眠质量的感知变化相关，从封锁前的水平。目前的研究结果为花时间在花园里的积极健康益处提供了支持-尽管相关性可能是双向的-并表明家庭花园可能是COVID-19大流行期间的潜在健康资源。
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of people's lives. Lockdown measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have been more stringent for those aged over 70, at highest risk for the disease. Here, we examine whether home garden usage is associated with self-reported mental and physical wellbeing in older adults, during COVID-19 lockdown in Scotland. This study analysed data from 171 individuals (mean age 84 ± 0.5 years) from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 study who completed an online survey approximately two months after lockdown commenced (May/June, 2020), and reported having access to a home garden. The survey also included items on garden activities (gardening, relaxing), frequency of garden usage during lockdown, and measures of self-rated physical health, emotional and mental health, anxiety about COVID-19, and sleep quality. Ordinal regression models were adjusted for sex, living alone, education, occupational social class, anxiety and depressive symptoms, body mass index, and history of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Neither gardening nor relaxing in the garden were associated with health outcomes. However, higher frequency of garden usage during lockdown was associated with better self-rated physical health (P = 0.005), emotional and mental health (P = 0.04), sleep quality (P = 0.03), and a composite health score (P = 0.001), after adjusting for covariates. None of the garden measures were associated with perceived change in physical health, mental and emotional health, or sleep quality, from pre-lockdown levels. The results of the current study provide support for positive health benefits of spending time in a garden—though associations may be bidirectional—and suggest that domestic gardens could be a potential health resource during the COVID-19 pandemic.
