Abstract

Objectives: To compare amounts of sedentary behavior and physical activity in adults residing in planned group residential settings to those residing in private homes.

Methods: Thirty-one older adults who resided in planned group residential settings (n=13) and in private homes (n=18) participated. Daily activities were measured using the Sensewear Armband for 7 days. Estimates of the duration of daily activities performed across sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous intensities were captured.

Results: Participants in planned group residential settings were older (age 85.9±3.5 vs 78.3±7.2; p=0.001) and spent more time in sedentary behaviors (12.7±1.5 vs 11.3±1.6; p=0.02) than participants in private homes. The difference was attenuated slightly after controlling for age and wear time (adjusted difference 1.2±0.6 hours, p=0.06).

Discussion: Adults residing in planned group residential settings, which provide supportive services, were more sedentary than adults residing in private homes. The environment in which older adults live may contribute to sedentary behavior.

环境对社区居住老年人久坐行为的影响。

目的:比较居住在计划集体住宅环境中的成年人与居住在私人住宅中的成年人的久坐行为和身体活动的数量。方法:31名老年人(n=13)和18名老年人(n=18)分别居住在计划的团体住宅环境中。使用Sensewear臂章测量7天的日常活动。记录了日常活动的持续时间，包括久坐、轻度和中度至剧烈的强度。结果:计划组居住环境的参与者年龄较大(85.9±3.5 vs 78.3±7.2;P =0.001)，久坐时间更长(12.7±1.5 vs 11.3±1.6;P =0.02)。在控制年龄和磨损时间后，差异略有减弱(调整差值1.2±0.6 h, p=0.06)。讨论:居住在提供支持性服务的有计划的团体住宅环境中的成年人比居住在私人住宅中的成年人更久坐。老年人的生活环境可能会导致久坐行为。

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
