Abstract:
This study investigated how elderly individuals\' exercise satisfaction in snowy areas relates to their health indicators and future care needs. Survey data were collected from individuals aged ≥65 years who lived in snowy-cold regions. Participants completed measures of exercise satisfaction, frailty, quality of life (QOL), and cardiovascular health study during the winter and spring of 2019, with a follow-up measure in 2022 to assess care needs. Findings revealed an association between exercise satisfaction, QOL, and frailty indicators, irrespective of the season. Notably, winter exercise satisfaction showed a stronger correlation with future care needs compared to spring exercise satisfaction. Those expressing low winter exercise satisfaction were significantly more likely to require increased care 3 years later than those reporting no inactivity. Although physical activity was not measured directly, the findings underscore that perceptions of exercise satisfaction during snowy seasons can predict future care needs in older adults. The influence of seasonal variations and subjective exercise satisfaction on long-term care requirements is vital for tailored interventions and improved healthcare strategies for older adults in cold regions.
摘要:
这项研究调查了积雪地区老年人的运动满意度与他们的健康指标和未来的护理需求之间的关系。调查数据来自生活在雪冷地区的65岁以上的个体。参与者完成了运动满意度的测量,脆弱,生活质量(QOL),以及2019年冬季和春季的心血管健康研究,并在2022年进行后续措施以评估护理需求。研究结果表明,锻炼满意度之间存在关联,QOL,和脆弱的指标,不管季节。值得注意的是,与春季运动满意度相比,冬季运动满意度与未来护理需求的相关性更强。那些表示冬季运动满意度低的人比那些报告没有运动的人更有可能在3年后需要更多的护理。虽然身体活动不是直接测量的,研究结果强调,在下雪季节对运动满意度的看法可以预测老年人未来的护理需求。季节性变化和主观运动满意度对长期护理要求的影响对于寒冷地区老年人的量身定制干预措施和改进的医疗保健策略至关重要。
