中国老年人的衰弱与健康——基于RuLAS调查数据的实证研究

Adverse Outcomes of Frailty among the Elderly in China: the RuLAS Study

考察了中国老年衰弱状况与健康结果之间的关系。基于"如皋长寿和衰老队列研究"(RuLAS)2014年基线调查数据中的衰老队列样本,呈现了老年人的衰弱状况及基本特征,并利用二元logistic回归模型分析老年衰弱对生理健康、心理健康和社会健康指标之间的影响。研究发现,老年调查样本中约有4%为衰弱,33%为衰弱前期,63%为健壮。与健壮老年人相比,衰弱老年人的生理健康和心理健康状况显著更差,衰弱前期老年人的社会健康状况显著更差。为有效延缓或避免老年衰弱症状的出现,有必要在社区及家庭内开展常规性的老年衰弱筛查和评估,及早开展老年衰弱预防及干预工作,促进老年健康。

This study examines the relationship between frailty and adverse outcomes among the elderly in China.Using the aging cohort samples from the 2014 rugao longevity and ageing study(RuLAS)baseline survey data,the article describes the frailty status of the elderly,and studies the relationship between elderly frailty and physical health,psychological health and social health by using binary logistic statistical analysis method.The study found that about 4% of the elderly were frail,33% were pre-frail and 63% were robust.Compared with robust elders,frail elders have lower level of physical health and psychological health,pre-frail elders have lower level of social health.In view of the above conclusions,the study suggests that in order to effectively delay or avoid the appearance of frailty in the elderly,it is necessary to carry out routine frailty screening and evaluation in the community,and to do frailty prevention and intervention work early.
