Abstract

Background: Participation in physical activity can improve the physical, mental, and social health of older adults, with greater benefits observed when they join sports clubs or groups rather than exercising alone. Despite the numerous advantages of older adults' participation in sports clubs, research on this topic remains scarce. This study investigated the association between participation in sports clubs and weekly physical activity, perceived health status, and health behaviors (adequate rest and sleep and regular meals and nutritional supplementation) among Korean older adults.

Methods: Data on 5146 individuals aged 60 years or older, collected from the 2022-2023 Korea National Lifestyle and Sports Survey, were analyzed using frequency, chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Results: Significant differences were found in sex, age, weekly physical activity, perceived health status, adequate rest and sleep, regular meals and nutritional supplementation, use of exercise prescription and consultation services, participation in lifestyle physical education classes, and cessation of drinking and smoking based on participation in sports clubs. Sports club participation increased the frequency of weekly physical activity and improved perceptions of health status in older adults. The average odds ratios (ORs) for weekly physical activity were 6.667 (95% confidence interval CI = 4.316-10.297; p < 0.001), 5.237 (95% CI = 3.372-8.133; p < 0.001), and 3.042 (95% CI = 1.864-4.966; p < 0.001) for 1-2, 3-4, and 5 or more days of participation, respectively. The average ORs were 0.559 (95% CI = 0.264-1.183; p = 0.128) for inadequate rest and sleep, and 1.272 (95% CI = 0.555-1.694; p = 0.100) for adequate rest and sleep. Average ORs were 0.976 (95% CI = 0.497-1.915; p = 0.943) for irregular meals and nutritional supplementation, and 1.028 (95% CI 0.770-1.373; p = 0.851) for regular meals and nutritional supplementation. However, sports club participation was not significantly associated with sufficient rest and sleep or regular meals and nutritional supplementation.

Conclusions: Older adults need support to join sports clubs, which can promote their physical activity and health.

背景：参加体育活动可以改善老年人的身体、精神和社交健康，如果老年人参加体育俱乐部或团体，而不是独自锻炼，则会获得更大的益处。尽管老年人参加体育俱乐部有很多好处，但这方面的研究仍然很少。本研究调查了韩国老年人参加体育俱乐部与每周体育活动、感知健康状况和健康行为（充足的休息和睡眠、定时进餐和营养补充）之间的关系：方法：采用频数、卡方和多变量逻辑回归分析，对 2022-2023 年韩国全国生活方式和体育调查中收集的 5146 名 60 岁及以上老年人的数据进行分析：结果发现，参加体育俱乐部的人在性别、年龄、每周体育活动、健康状况感知、充足的休息和睡眠、定时进餐和营养补充、使用运动处方和咨询服务、参加生活方式体育课以及戒酒和戒烟方面存在显著差异。参加体育俱乐部增加了每周体育活动的频率，改善了老年人对健康状况的看法。参与 1-2 天、3-4 天和 5 天或更多天的每周体育活动的平均几率比（ORs）分别为 6.667（95% 置信区间 CI = 4.316-10.297；p < 0.001）、5.237（95% 置信区间 CI = 3.372-8.133；p < 0.001）和 3.042（95% 置信区间 CI = 1.864-4.966；p < 0.001）。休息和睡眠不足的平均 ORs 为 0.559 (95% CI = 0.264-1.183; p = 0.128)，休息和睡眠充足的平均 ORs 为 1.272 (95% CI = 0.555-1.694; p = 0.100)。不定时进餐和营养补充的平均 OR 值为 0.976 (95% CI = 0.497-1.915; p = 0.943)，定时进餐和营养补充的平均 OR 值为 1.028 (95% CI 0.770-1.373; p = 0.851)。然而，参加体育俱乐部与充足的休息和睡眠或定时进餐和营养补充并无明显关联：结论：老年人参加体育俱乐部需要支持，这可以促进他们的体育活动和健康。
