Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study was to analyze key predictors of subjective well-being (SWB), an important psychological indicator reflecting quality of life, of the elderly with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in China using a representative nationwide sample.
Methods
The data were taken from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2018, and candidate predictors were determined based on the health ecological model (HEM).Chi-square test, t-test, and binary logistic regression was used to investigate the predictors of SWB of the participants from the personal, behavioral, interpersonal, life and work-related, and policy aspects. Finally, the random forest model (RFM) was used to determine the relative importance of the predictors.
Results
The participants' SWB were negatively associated with age (OR = 0.986, P = 0.024), actual sleep average hours for one night (OR = 0.946, P = 0.003), average minutes take a nap after lunch (OR = 0.998, P = 0.015), higher education (OR ranges: 0.220–0.319, P range: 0.005–0.040) compared with elementary school and below; The participants' SWB were positively associated with being ethnic minority (OR = 1.504, P = 0.003), and number of comorbid conditions (OR = 1.117, P < 0.001). Based on the RFM model, the top six of the predictors were age (230.968), actual sleep average hours for one night (159.951), average minutes take a nap after lunch (138.571), number of comorbid conditions (115.847), education (50.784), and ethnicity (23.575).
Conclusion
The top six predictors of SWB of the elderly with CVDs in China were age, actual sleep average hours for one night, average minutes take a nap after lunch, number of comorbid conditions, education, and ethnicity.
