背景:先前的研究表明,心理压力与个体如何看待自己的年龄之间存在潜在的联系。建立在这个基础上,本研究探讨了负面情绪与自我感知年龄之间的关系。
方法:我们使用英国生物库的数据进行了横截面分析,一项代表英国人口的综合队列研究。分析包括347892名参与者,年龄在39至73岁之间,其中184765名是女性,占样本的53.1%。参与者根据他们的自我感知年龄分为三组:感觉比他们的实际年龄年轻(组年轻),感觉比他们的实际年龄大(组老年),感觉和他们的实际年龄一样老(组相同)。探讨负性情绪与自我感知年龄的关系,我们使用多项逻辑回归模型,以Younger组作为参考类别.
结果:在347892名参与者中,在调整协变量后,结果显示,易怒的参与者,紧张的感觉,忧虑/焦虑的感觉或厌倦的感觉,担心太久,孤独/孤立更有可能被评为“关于你的年龄”或“比你年龄大”,\"与\"比你年轻\"作为参考组,这表明负面情绪可能会影响一个人的自我感知年龄。在这些负面情绪中,易怒对自我感知年龄的影响最大,比值比(OR)为1.44(95%CI:1.35-1.54)和1.11(95%CI:1.09-1.14)。
结论:负面情绪与自我感知的年龄有关,烦躁的影响最大。需要进一步研究分析自我感知年龄,以考虑心理因素。
BACKGROUND: Prior research has indicated a potential connection between psychological stress and how individuals perceive their own age. Building on this foundation, the current study explores the relationship between negative
emotions and self-perceived age.
METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the UK Biobank, a comprehensive cohort study representing the UK population. The analysis included 347 892 participants, aged between 39 and 73 years, of which 184 765 were women, accounting for 53.1% of the sample. Participants were categorized into three groups based on their self-perceived age: feeling younger than their chronological age (group Younger), feeling older than their chronological age (group Older), and feeling as old as their actual age (group Same). To investigate the relationship between negative
emotions and self-perceived age, we utilized a multinomial logistic regression model with the Younger group serving as the reference category.
RESULTS: Of 347 892 participants, after adjusted for covariates, the results showed that participants with irritability, nervous feelings, worrier/anxious feelings or fed-up feelings, worry too long and loneliness/isolation are more likely to be rated as \"about your age\" or \"older than you are,\" with \"younger than you are\" as the reference group, indicating that negative
emotions may influence one\'s self-perceived age. Among those negative
emotions, irritability has the most significant impact self-perceived age, with the odds ratios (ORs) being 1.44 (95% CI: 1.35-1.54) and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.09-1.14).
CONCLUSIONS: Negative
emotions are associated with older self-perceived age, and irritability has the greatest impact. Further studies analyzing self-perceived age are needed to take psychological factors into consideration.
