Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of having plans for the future among very old people and the factors associated with having such plans. A longitudinal population-based study with home visits for 85-, 90-, and ≥95-year-old participants in Sweden and Finland was used. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional-hazards regression models with a maximum 5-year follow-up period were used. The prevalence of having plans for the future was 18.6% (174/936). More men than women and more people living in Sweden than in Finland had plans for the future. In multivariate models, having plans for the future was associated with speaking Swedish, being dentate, and living in the community in the total sample; speaking Swedish and being dentate among women; and speaking Swedish, having a lower Geriatric Depression Scale score, and urban residence among men. Having plans for the future was associated univariately, but not multivariately, with increased survival.

高龄老人对未来的规划。

本研究旨在调查高龄老人对未来做出规划的普遍程度以及与做出此类规划相关的因素。研究采用了一项基于人口的纵向研究，对瑞典和芬兰 85 岁、90 岁和≥95 岁的参与者进行了家访。研究采用了多变量逻辑回归和考克斯比例危害回归模型，随访期最长为 5 年。为未来制定计划的比例为 18.6%（174/936）。对未来有计划的男性多于女性，居住在瑞典的人数多于芬兰。在多变量模型中，在所有样本中，对未来有计划与讲瑞典语、有牙齿和居住在社区有关；在女性中，与讲瑞典语和有牙齿有关；在男性中，与讲瑞典语、老年抑郁量表得分较低和居住在城市有关。对未来有规划与存活率的提高有单项相关性，但没有多变量相关性。

期刊介绍： These are some of the broad questions with which the International Journal of Aging and Human Development is concerned. Emphasis is upon psychological and social studies of aging and the aged. However, the Journal also publishes research that introduces observations from other fields that illuminate the "human" side of gerontology, or utilizes gerontological observations to illuminate in other fields.
