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： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
