Abstract

Previous research has explored the physical activity habits of people with dementia and their family carers separately, with little consideration of how physical habits are associated within dyads. In this observational study, we sought to explore the relationship between people with dementia and their carers' physical activity, at a group level and at a dyadic level. Twenty-six participant dyads (persons with dementia and their carer spouses) were asked to wear an accelerometer for 30 days continuously. Comparisons were made at a group level and a dyadic level. People with dementia did not participate in significantly more moderate to vigorous physical activity (M = 15.44 min/day; SD = 14.40) compared with carers (M = 17.95 min/day; SD = 17.01). Within dyads, there were moderately strong associations between daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (r = .48-.54), but not with overall activity levels (r = .24). Despite physical activity habits remaining relatively low within people with dementia and carers, respectively, moderate to vigorous physical activity levels appear to be correlated within dyads. Understanding mutual influence on physical activity levels within dyads is an important pathway to promote an active lifestyle.

痴呆症护理二人组的体育活动模式。
以往的研究分别探讨了痴呆症患者及其家庭照护者的体育锻炼习惯,但很少考虑到体育锻炼习惯在二者之间的关联。在这项观察性研究中,我们试图从群体层面和双人层面探讨痴呆症患者及其照护者的体育锻炼之间的关系。我们要求 26 对参与者(痴呆症患者及其照护者配偶)连续 30 天佩戴加速度计。在小组和两人一组的层面上进行了比较。与照护者(中=17.95分钟/天;标=17.01)相比,痴呆症患者参加中度至剧烈运动的时间(中=15.44分钟/天;标=14.40)并没有明显增加。在二人组中,每日中度至剧烈运动(r = .48-.54)之间存在中等程度的关联,但与总体活动水平(r = .24)之间没有关联。尽管痴呆症患者和照护者的体育锻炼习惯仍然相对较低,但中度到剧烈的体育锻炼水平在二人组中似乎是相关的。了解伴侣间体育锻炼水平的相互影响是促进积极生活方式的重要途径。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults. In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
