Abstract

Objective: Little is known about the impact of loneliness on physical health among elderly individuals with diabetes. Here, we examined the relationship of loneliness with disability, objective physical function, and other health outcomes in older individuals with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity.

Method: Data are drawn from the Look AHEAD study, a diverse cohort of individuals (ages 61-92) with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes measured 5-6 years after a 10-year weight loss randomized, controlled trial.

Results: Loneliness scores were significantly associated with greater disability symptoms and slower 4-meter gait speed (ps < 0.01). Loneliness did not differ across treatment arms. Discussion. Overall, these results extend prior findings relating loneliness to disability and decreased mobility to older individuals with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity.

孤独感与老年2型糖尿病患者的功能活动能力有关:前瞻性研究

目的:孤独感对老年糖尿病患者身体健康的影响尚不清楚。在这里，我们研究了孤独与残疾、客观身体功能和其他健康结果在患有2型糖尿病和超重或肥胖的老年人中的关系。方法:数据来自Look AHEAD研究，这是一项不同的队列研究(61-92岁)，超重或肥胖和2型糖尿病患者在10年体重减轻后的5-6年随机对照试验。结果:孤独感得分与残疾症状加重、4米步速减慢相关(ps < 0.01)。孤独感在治疗组之间没有差异。讨论。总的来说，这些结果扩展了先前关于孤独与残疾和行动能力下降有关的发现，适用于患有2型糖尿病和超重或肥胖的老年人。
