Abstract

Abstract Lighting plays an important role in daily life: It helps people perform daily activities independently and safely, and also benefits their health. This study assesses the research evidence of lighting’s impacts on older adults in four domains: (a) performance of activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living; (b) circadian rhythm; (c) fall prevention and postural stability; and (d) sleep quality. A comprehensive review of lighting studies on older adults’ visual and nonvisual performance was conducted using a modified PRISMA systematic review process. For the first domain, some older adults had difficulty in using the toilet, preparing meals, and doing laundry under lower illuminance. For the second domain, brighter and bluish lighting improved older adults’ circadian rhythm. For the third domain, low-intensity LED lighting affixed on door frames can help older adults maintain postural stability and prevent falling during nighttime movement. Finally, some studies concluded that receiving outdoor daylight during exercise was beneficial to older adults’ sleep quality. This study provides several methodological, theoretical, and collaborative suggestions for developing a more conclusive evidence base for lighting standards and strategies for older adults.
灯光对老年人视觉和非视觉表现的影响:一项系统综述
照明在日常生活中扮演着重要的角色:它帮助人们独立、安全地进行日常活动,也有益于人们的健康。本研究从四个方面评估了照明对老年人日常生活活动表现和日常生活工具性活动的影响;(b)昼夜节律;(c)防止跌倒和姿势稳定;(d)睡眠质量。采用改进的PRISMA系统评价过程,对照明对老年人视觉和非视觉表现的影响进行了综合评价。对于第一个领域,一些老年人在较低的照明下上厕所、做饭和洗衣服有困难。对于第二个领域,更亮和偏蓝的光线改善了老年人的昼夜节律。对于第三个领域,贴在门框上的低强度LED照明可以帮助老年人保持姿势稳定,防止夜间活动时摔倒。最后,一些研究得出结论,在锻炼时接受户外日光有益于老年人的睡眠质量。本研究提供了一些方法、理论和协作建议,为老年人的照明标准和策略提供更确凿的证据基础。

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.
