新冠肺炎疫情可能会加剧患有慢性病的老年人的孤独感，这些老年人患严重疾病的风险很高，但人们对疫情期间与孤独感相关的因素知之甚少。我们考虑了来自密歇根州(82.5%)和美国其他33个州的701名50岁及以上患有慢性病的成年人中与孤独有关的因素。参与者在2020年5月14日至7月9日期间完成了一项匿名在线调查。约三分之二(66.4%)的人表示有中度到重度的孤独感。完全调整的回归模型显示，作为一个有色人种，有配偶或同居伴侣，以及更多的情感支持与较低的孤独感水平相关。焦虑症状越重，越担心新冠肺炎感染，以及疫情带来的经济压力越大，孤独感就越大。这些发现为在此次大流行期间以及在未来的公共卫生危机中支持老年人这一弱势群体的战略提供了参考。
The COVID-19 pandemic may intensify loneliness among older adults with chronic conditions who are at high risk for severe illness, but little is known about factors associated with loneliness during the pandemic. We considered factors linked to loneliness among 701 adults aged 50 and older with chronic conditions from Michigan (82.5%) and 33 other U.S. states. Participants completed an anonymous online survey between May 14 and July 9, 2020. About two-thirds (66.4%) reported moderate to severe loneliness. The fully adjusted regression model revealed that being a person of color, having a spouse or cohabiting partner, and more emotional support were associated with lower levels of loneliness. Higher anxiety symptoms, more worry about COVID-19 infection, and more financial strain because of the pandemic were linked to greater loneliness. These findings inform strategies to support a vulnerable subgroup of older adults during this pandemic and in future public health crises.
