Abstract

Abstract Aim Identify common home environmental modifications used by aging women to preserve independence with latent class analysis (LCA). Methods A cross-sectional survey was collected from 71,257 women in the Women’s Health Initiative October 2013 to December 2014. Information was gathered regarding women’s health and use of common home modifications. Descriptive measures characterized the women, and LCA identified patterns of usage. Results Fifty-five percent of women, ages 64–98 years, reported home modifications; more commonly among older women reporting poorer function. The most common strategies included grab bars (31%) and decluttering (26%). Analyses indicated four latent groups: limited use (56%), hand rails and grab bars (21%), lighting and decluttering (18%), and multi-use (5%). Conclusions These findings identify patterns of home environmental modifications from a large cohort of aging women. Women most often used fall prevention devices and cleaned and brightened space to preserve independence at home.

妇女健康倡议中使用的家庭环境改造的潜在概况

【摘要】目的利用潜在分类分析(LCA)，确定老年妇女常用的家庭环境改变以保持独立性。方法对2013年10月至2014年12月参加妇女健康倡议的71257名妇女进行横断面调查。收集了关于妇女健康和使用普通家庭装修的信息。描述性测量描述了女性的特征，LCA确定了使用模式。结果:55%的64-98岁的女性报告了家庭改造;更常见的是在老年妇女中报告功能较差。最常见的策略包括抓杆(31%)和整理(26%)。分析显示了四个潜在群体:有限使用(56%)，手扶栏杆和抓杆(21%)，照明和整理(18%)和多用途(5%)。结论:这些发现确定了大量老年妇女家庭环境改变的模式。女性通常使用防摔装置，清洁和明亮的空间来保持家中的独立性。

期刊介绍： This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
