Abstract

Objective: To investigate cross-sectional associations between spouses' sensory loss and depressive symptoms, self-rated health, and functional disability.

Methods: We included 10,410 individuals from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. We used the cross-sectional design and determined hearing loss, vision loss, and dual sensory loss by self-reports. We assessed depressive symptoms using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. We assessed self-reported health status using one item. Functional disability was defined as having difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).

Results: Individuals with spouses' dual sensory loss had a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms (45.19%), ADL (17.31%), and IADL impairments (21.97%) and a lower rate of self-rated good health (20.78%) than those with no or single loss. Spouse's sensory loss was associated with depressive symptoms, self-rated health, ADL, and IADL impairments (p < .05). Husbands' ADL impairments were associated with wives' vision loss (p < .05). Wives' IADL impairments were associated with husbands' hearing loss (p < .05).

Conclusions: Spouses' sensory loss was related to depressive symptoms, self-rated health, ADL, and IADL impairments. There was a gender specificity in the effect of spousal vision loss or hearing loss on ADL and IADL impairments.

中国中老年人配偶感官缺失与抑郁症状、自评健康和功能障碍的关系：一项横断面研究

摘要研究配偶感官缺失与抑郁症状、自评健康和功能障碍之间的横断面关联：我们纳入了中国健康与退休纵向研究的 10,410 人。我们采用横断面设计，通过自我报告确定听力损失、视力损失和双重感官损失。我们使用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表评估抑郁症状。我们使用一个项目评估自我报告的健康状况。功能性残疾的定义是在日常生活活动（ADL）和日常生活工具性活动（IADL）中遇到困难：结果：与无感官缺失或单一感官缺失的人相比，配偶有双重感官缺失的人抑郁症状（45.19%）、ADL（17.31%）和IADL障碍（21.97%）的发生率更高，自评健康状况良好的比例（20.78%）更低。配偶的感官缺失与抑郁症状、自评健康状况、ADL 和 IADL 损伤有关（p p p p 结论：配偶的感官缺失与抑郁症状、自评健康状况、ADL 和 IADL 损伤有关：配偶的感官缺失与抑郁症状、自评健康状况、ADL 和 IADL 损伤有关。配偶的视力或听力损失对日常活动能力和 IADL 损伤的影响具有性别特异性。
