Heatwaves and its impact on the depressive symptoms among Chinese community-dwelling older adults: Examining the role of social participation
Objectives
Based on the Environment-Person Fit Perspective, this study explores the relationship between heatwaves and subsequent depressive symptoms among older Chinese community dwellers. Additionally, the study investigates if this association varies among older adults with different levels of social participation.
Methods
Heatwaves were defined as the frequency of occurrences where daily maximum temperature exceeded 35 °C for 3 consecutive days. A sample including 7124 older adults aged 55 and above was selected from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Depressive symptoms were measured by the 10-item Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Social participation was measured by volunteer participation and leisure participation. Multilevel fixed effect model was employed to investigate the temporal association between heatwaves and depressive symptoms, as well as the moderating effect of social participation.
Results
This study found that older adults who had experienced a greater number of heatwaves presented more severe depressive symptoms (b = 0.66, p < 0.001). However, a high level of leisure participation buffered the effect of heatwaves on depressive symptoms (b = ̶ 0.52, p < 0.05).
Conclusions
This study highlighted the differential impact of heatwaves on mental health outcomes among older adults depending on their levels of social participation. Our findings provide valuable insights into designing an integrative heatwave adaption scheme that simultaneously focuses on temperature adjustment and social participation enhancement.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
