Abstract

This research aims to explore the impact of various components of Indoor air pollution (IAP) on the Self-Reported Health (SRH) of older adults in India. Using a sample of 27,090 from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) Wave-1, a multiple binary logistic regression model was employed to identify specific risk factors associated with poor SRH among older adults. Adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and IAP-related components, it was revealed that IAP significantly contributes to poor SRH. The adjusted model indicated that individuals using solid cooking fuels face a higher risk of poor SRH compared to those using liquid fuels. Additionally, individuals not using electric chimneys and cooking near windows are associated with an elevated risk of poor SRH, highlighting the importance of adequate ventilation. Health risk factors, including lung disease, diabetes, cough, and depression, further contribute to poor SRH among older adults exposed to IAP. Overall, the study offers crucial insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and environmentalists to improve the well-being of the vulnerable older population in India.

烹饪燃料的使用和做法造成的室内空气污染对印度老年人自我报告的健康状况的影响：来自 LASI 的证据

本研究旨在探讨室内空气污染（IAP）的各种因素对印度老年人自述健康（SRH）的影响。利用印度老龄化纵向研究（LASI）第 1 波的 27,090 个样本，采用多元二元逻辑回归模型来确定与老年人自述健康状况差相关的特定风险因素。对人口、社会经济和 IAP 相关因素进行调整后发现，IAP 是导致性健康和生殖健康不良的重要因素。调整后的模型表明，与使用液体燃料的人相比，使用固体燃料烹饪的人面临着更高的性健康和生殖健康不良风险。此外，不使用电烟囱和靠近窗户做饭的人与自毁性健康和生殖健康状况不佳的风险升高有关，这凸显了充分通风的重要性。包括肺病、糖尿病、咳嗽和抑郁在内的健康风险因素进一步加剧了暴露于室内空气污染的老年人的性健康和生殖健康状况。总之，这项研究为政策制定者、医疗保健专业人员和环保人士提供了重要的见解，以改善印度弱势老年人口的福祉。

期刊介绍： SSM - Population Health. The new online only, open access, peer reviewed journal in all areas relating Social Science research to population health. SSM - Population Health shares the same Editors-in Chief and general approach to manuscripts as its sister journal, Social Science & Medicine. The journal takes a broad approach to the field especially welcoming interdisciplinary papers from across the Social Sciences and allied areas. SSM - Population Health offers an alternative outlet for work which might not be considered, or is classed as ''out of scope'' elsewhere, and prioritizes fast peer review and publication to the benefit of authors and readers. The journal welcomes all types of paper from traditional primary research articles, replication studies, short communications, methodological studies, instrument validation, opinion pieces, literature reviews, etc. SSM - Population Health also offers the opportunity to publish special issues or sections to reflect current interest and research in topical or developing areas. The journal fully supports authors wanting to present their research in an innovative fashion though the use of multimedia formats.
