摘要
目的了解浙江省城乡社区60岁以上老年人害怕跌倒而减少活动的发生现状及其影响因素。方法2013年10-12月由经过培训的调查员人户对1972名60岁以上老年人进行问卷调查,采用单因素和多因素logis6c回归分析其影响因素。结果因害怕跌倒而减少活动的老年人比例为43.15%(95%CI:40.97%~45.34%),其中男性和女性分别为41.79%(95%CI:38.61%~44.98%)和44.36%(95%CI:41.34%~47.38%),不同性别的差异无统计学意义(χ2=1.32,P〉0.05);60-、70-及≥80岁组因害怕跌倒而减少活动的比例分别为37.07%、44.87%和59.04%(趋势χ2=48.93,P〈0.01)。过去12个月发生过跌倒老年人中,因害怕跌倒而减少活动的比例为51.94%,未曾发生过跌倒老年人中的比例为41.52%,差异有统计学意义(χ2=11.56,P〈0.01)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,自评健康状况一般(OR=1.53)或不好(OR=1.69)、视力不良(相距1~5m视物无困难:OR=1.95,〈1m才能辨认:OR=2.98)、听力不良(需大声交谈:OR=1.77)、经常使用辅具(OR=2.71)、年龄≥80岁(OR=1.56)、被诊断骨质疏松(OR=3.35)、被诊断眩晕症(OR=3.05)是老年人因害怕跌倒而减少活动的可疑危险因素,而文化程度高(大学及以上:OR=0.54,中学/中专:OR=0.54,小学:OR=0.74)是保护因素。结论浙江省城乡社区60岁以上老年人中害怕跌倒而减少活动的比例高。应针对患骨质疏松和眩晕症、视力和听力困难及自评健康状况差、经常使用辅具、文化程度低、高龄老年人开展健康教育,鼓励其适当运动,减少跌倒发生。
Objective To investigate the epidemiologic characteristics and factors associated with the avoidance of activity, that induced by fear of falling in the community-dwelling elderly so as to provide evidence for preventing elderly from falling and to increase the quality of life. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1 972 elderly in Zhejiang. Data were collected through face-to-face interview. Both Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the related factors on the avoidance of activity induced by fear of falling. Results Of the 1 972 elderly, 43.15% (95%CI: 40.97%-45.34% ) appeared avoidance of activity induced by fear of falling. There were no significant difference between males (41.79%, 95%CI: 38.61%-44.98% ) andfemales (44.36%, 95%CI : 41.34%-47.38% ), with χ2= 1.32, P〉0.05. The corresponding figures of the 60-69 years group, 70-79 years group and the ≥80 years group were 37.07%, 44.87% and 59.04% , respectively (Trend χ2=48.93, P〈0.01). Of those elderly who ever fell in the past 12 months, 51.94% (95%CI: 46.34%-57.53%) of them were afraid of falling which would lead to avoid of engaging in physical activities. Of the elderly who had no histories of falling in the past 12 months,41.52%(95%Cl: 39.14%-43.89%) feared of falling and avoided engaging in related activities (χ2=11.56, P〈0.01). Results from the Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the related factors would include general/poor perceived health status (OR= 1.53-1.69), impaired vision (OR = 1.95 -2.98), impaired heating ( OR = 1.77), use of assistive devices (OR = 2.71 ), osteoporosis (OR=3.35) , dizziness (OR=3.05) , age ≥80 years old (OR=1.56) and the level of received education. Conclusion Avoidance of physical activity induced by fear of falling among community- dwelling elderly was commonly seen. Health education and intervention measures should be strengthened to the elderly, so as to encourage them to enga
