Abstract

Objectives

This study examined the social factors affecting the frequency of going out, and social isolation related to the frequency of daily conversation, stratified by gender.

Method

The participants comprised 1,016 community-dwelling older Japanese adults, who were categorized into four groups: those who are (1) not isolated socially and go out every day, (2) not isolated socially and do not go out every day, (3) socially isolated and go out every day, and (4) socially isolated and do not go out every day. We performed a logistic regression analysis to assess the relationship between the frequency of daily conversation and the four groups.

Results

Our multivariable logistic regression analysis (reference, group 1) showed that the coexistence of poor social factors significantly affected men (group 2: odds ratio [OR] 2.13 [1.10 to 4.12]; group 3: OR 2.92 [1.70 to 5.00]; and group 4: OR 4.28 [2.43 to 7.54]). For women, the frequency of going out was related to daily conversation only with social isolation group (group 2: OR 1.51 [0.77 to 2.98]; group 3: OR 2.42 [1.25 to 4.68]; and group 4: OR 3.81 [2.08 to 7.00]).

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that promoting daily conversations of community-dwelling older adults can help prevent related health adversities.

社区老年人日常会话频率相关社会因素的性别特征：一项横断面观察研究

目的本研究按性别分层，考察了影响外出频率的社会因素，以及与日常谈话频率相关的社会孤立。方法参与者包括1016名居住在社区的日本老年人，他们被分为四组：（1）没有社交孤立，每天都出去；（2）没有社交隔离，每天都不出去。我们进行了逻辑回归分析，以评估日常对话频率与四组之间的关系。结果我们的多变量逻辑回归分析（参考文献，第1组）显示，不良社会因素的共存对男性有显著影响（第2组：优势比[OR]2.13[1.10至4.12]；第3组：OR 2.92[1.70至5.00]；第4组：OR 4.28[2.43至7.54]），外出频率仅与社交隔离组的日常对话有关（第2组：OR 1.51[0.77至2.98]；第3组：OR 2.42[1.25至4.68]；第4组：OR 3.81[2.08至7.00]）。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
