METHODS: This study used 2012 to 2020 data from the Health and Retirement Study data (n = 1206) that was analyzed using repeated measured multivariate analysis of covariance.
RESULTS: The high-level participation LTPA group reported higher positive affect and lower negative affect than the mid and low-level participation groups. The mid-level LTPA group also reported higher positive and lower negative affect than the low-level LTPA group.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that high levels of LTPA participation contribute to an increase in positive affect and a reduction of negative affect among older foreign-born adults with MCI. The findings of this study will help fill the gap in research on the longitudinal relationship between levels of LTPA participation and positive and negative affect among older foreign-born adults.
方法:本研究使用2012年至2020年的健康与退休研究数据(n=1206),使用重复测量的多变量协方差分析进行分析。
结果:高水平参与LTPA组报告的积极影响高于中,低水平参与组的消极影响低。与低水平LTPA组相比,中等水平的LTPA组也报告了更高的积极影响和更低的负面影响。
结论:这项研究提供了证据,表明高水平的LTPA参与有助于增加外国出生的老年MCI成年人的积极影响和减少负面影响。这项研究的结果将有助于填补有关LTPA参与水平与外国出生的老年人的正面和负面影响之间的纵向关系的研究空白。
