国际研究提供了与老年人孤独感相关的社会人口统计学特征的概述，但很少有研究区分情感和社会孤独感。本研究探讨了与情感和社交孤独相关的社会人口特征。2251社区居住的老年人的数据，包括在欧洲城市卫生中心（UHCE）项目的基线测量，进行了分析。使用6项De Jong-Gierveld Longland量表测量Longland。多变量逻辑回归模型被用来评估年龄，性别，生活状况，教育水平，移民背景和孤独之间的关联。参与者的平均年龄为79.7岁（SD = 5.6岁）; 60.4%为女性。29.2%和26.7%的参与者报告了情感和社交孤独; 13.6%的人同时经历了情感和社交孤独。年龄较大（或：1.16，95%CI：1.06-1.28）、没有伴侣生活（2.16，95%CI：1.73-2.70）和低教育水平（OR：1.82，95%CI：1.21-2.73）与情感孤独增加相关。与伴侣生活在一起的女性比与伴侣生活在一起的男性更容易产生情感孤独（OR：1.78，95%CI：1.31-2.40）。年龄较大（或：低文化程度（OR：1.77，95%CI：1.14-2.74）与社交孤独感增加相关。没有伴侣生活的男性比有伴侣生活的男性更容易出现社交孤独（OR：1.94，95%CI：1.35-2.78）。社会人口学特征与情感和社会孤独感不同性别和生活状况。研究人员、政策制定者和医疗保健专业人员应该意识到，情感和社交孤独可能会影响具有不同社会人口特征的老年人。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s12877-021-02058-4获得。
International studies provide an overview of socio-demographic characteristics associated with loneliness among older adults, but few studies distinguished between emotional and social loneliness. This study examined socio-demographic characteristics associated with emotional and social loneliness. Data of 2251 community-dwelling older adults, included at the baseline measure of the Urban Health Centers Europe (UHCE) project, were analysed. Loneliness was measured with the 6-item De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between age, sex, living situation, educational level, migration background, and loneliness. The mean age of participants was 79.7 years (SD = 5.6 years); 60.4% women. Emotional and social loneliness were reported by 29.2 and 26.7% of the participants; 13.6% experienced emotional and social loneliness simultaneously. Older age (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.06–1.28), living without a partner (2.16, 95% CI: 1.73–2.70), and having a low educational level (OR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.21–2.73), were associated with increased emotional loneliness. Women living with a partner were more prone to emotional loneliness than men living with a partner (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.31–2.40). Older age (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.00–1.22) and having a low educational level (OR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.14–2.74) were associated with increased social loneliness. Men living without a partner were more prone to social loneliness than men living with a partner (OR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.35–2.78). Socio-demographic characteristics associated with emotional and social loneliness differed regarding sex and living situation. Researchers, policy makers, and healthcare professionals should be aware that emotional and social loneliness may affect older adults with different socio-demographic characteristics.
