衰弱被定义为由于多个生理系统的储备和功能与年龄相关的下降而导致的脆弱性增加的状态。增加体力活动水平被认为是对抗虚弱的措施。一些研究表明，养宠物的人比不养宠物的人更愿意参加体力活动。我们对饲养宠物与社区老年人身体虚弱之间的关系进行了系统回顾，并对研究结果进行了严格评估。 PubMed 于 2020 年 4 月根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA) 指南进行了检索，该指南用于横断面或前瞻性研究，检查饲养宠物与平均年龄为 60 岁或以上的社区老年人虚弱之间的关联。使用谷歌学术进行补充搜索。确定的文章由两名研究人员独立审查并评估方法学质量。检索确定了 48 项研究，其中 3 项研究（两项横断面研究和一项前瞻性研究）纳入本综述。这些研究表明，养宠物可能与较低的虚弱风险有关。这项系统综述仅发现了有限数量的相关研究。需要更多的研究来确定养宠物与身体虚弱以及健康老龄化和福祉之间的联系。
Frailty is defined as a state of increased vulnerability due to age-related decline in reserve and function across multiple physiological systems. Increasing physical activity level is considered to be a measure to counteract frailty. Some studies have indicated that pet owners are more engaged in physical activity than non-owners. We conducted a systematic review regarding associations between pet ownerships and frailty among community-dwelling older adults and critically assessed the findings. PubMed was searched in April 2020 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for cross-sectional or prospective studies examining associations between pet ownership and frailty in community-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 60 or above. A supplementary search was done using Google Scholar. Identified articles were reviewed by two investigators independently and assessed for methodological quality. The search identified 48 studies, among which three studies (two cross-sectional and one prospective) were included in this review. These studies suggested that pet ownership may be associated with a lower risk of frailty. This systematic review found only a limited amount of relevant research. More research is needed to establish the link between pet ownership and frailty as well as healthy aging and well-being.
