Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Sedentary behavior is most prevalent among those aged 80 years and above, referred to as the oldest-old. Current literature emphasizes the significance of sedentary behavior patterns, but further evidence is required to understand how these patterns relate to specific health outcomes and to identify at-risk profiles for tailored interventions in the oldest-old. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify profiles of adults aged 80+ years based on their sedentary patterns and health outcomes, and to examine associations between profiles and socio-demographics.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Flanders (Belgium) from February 2021 to December 2022 recruiting 90 older adults (80+) through convenience sampling, employing word of mouth, social media and local service centers. Latent profile analysis identified device-based sedentary patterns and assessed their associations with physical and cognitive functioning, mental health-related quality of life (QoL), and social isolation. Associations of these profiles with socio-demographic factors were analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: Three distinct profiles were identified: (1) the \'cognitively and physically frail\' profile, (2) the \'healthy\' profile and (3) the \'lower mental health-related QoL\' profile. Those in the \'cognitively and physically frail\' profile exhibited the least favorable sedentary pattern, and had a higher likelihood of residing in a nursing home. No significant differences were found for the other socio-demographic variables, being age, sex, educational degree and family situation.
UNASSIGNED: Three distinct profiles in the oldest-old population, based on cognitive and physical functioning, mental health-related QoL, and sedentary behavior patterns, were identified. Lower physical and cognitive functioning was associated with unhealthy sedentary patterns. Further research with larger samples is crucial to uncover potential links between socio-demographics and at-risk subgroups, enhancing our understanding of sedentary behavior and geriatric health outcomes in this population.
摘要:
在80岁及以上的人群中,久坐行为最为普遍,被称为最古老的。当前的文献强调久坐行为模式的重要性,但需要进一步的证据来了解这些模式与特定健康结局的关系,并确定针对年龄最大的患者的量身定制干预措施的风险状况.因此,这项研究的目的是根据他们的久坐模式和健康结果来确定80岁以上的成年人的概况,并检查个人资料和社会人口统计之间的关联。
从2021年2月至2022年12月在法兰德斯(比利时)进行了一项横断面研究,通过便利抽样招募了90名老年人(80岁以上),采用口碑,社交媒体和当地服务中心。潜在轮廓分析确定了基于设备的久坐模式,并评估了它们与身体和认知功能的关联,心理健康相关生活质量(QoL),社会孤立。分析了这些概况与社会人口统计学因素的关联。
确定了三个不同的配置文件:(1)“认知和身体虚弱”配置文件,(2)“健康”概况和(3)“较低的心理健康相关QoL”概况。那些“认知和身体虚弱”的人表现出最不有利的久坐模式,住在疗养院的可能性更高。其他社会人口统计学变量没有发现显著差异,随着年龄的增长,性别,教育程度和家庭情况。
年龄最大的人口中有三个不同的特征,基于认知和身体功能,心理健康相关的QoL,和久坐的行为模式,已确定。较低的身体和认知功能与不健康的久坐模式有关。更大样本的进一步研究对于揭示社会人口统计学和高危亚组之间的潜在联系至关重要。加强我们对这一人群的久坐行为和老年健康结果的理解。
