目标 本研究旨在阐明一组老年人的社会交往与七年死亡率之间的关系。 方法 参与者均为 65 岁或以上,居住在日本主要城市中心附近的农业社区 (n = 801)。问卷内容涵盖社交互动(采用由18个项目组成的“社交互动指数”)、健康状况、身体机能、日常生活活动(ADL)、年龄和性别。 结果 基线调查后七年内共有139名受试者死亡:1)基线年龄和身体机能与七年死亡率相关; 2)更多的社会互动与死亡率降低呈正相关; 3)根据基线年龄、性别、身体机能、健康状况和ADL进行调整的多元逻辑回归分析表明,更多的社会互动与死亡率降低有关。 讨论 这些发现强调了社交互动对于成功老龄化的重要性。
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to clarify the relation between social interaction and seven-year-mortality in a group of elderly people. METHODS The participants were all 65 years or older living in farming communities near major urban centers in Japan (n = 801). The contents of the questionnaire covered social interaction (using an "Index of Social Interaction" consisting of 18 items), health status, physical function, activities of daily living (ADL), age and gender. RESULTS A total of 139 subjects died within the seven year period after the baseline survey: 1) baseline age and physical function were related to the seven-year mortality; 2) greater social interaction was positively related to reduced mortality; 3) multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for baseline age, gender, physical function, health status, and ADL indicated that greater social interaction was related to reduced mortality. DISCUSSION These findings highlight the importance of social interaction in successful aging.
