摘要

随着年龄的增长，与健康相关的问题是人体普遍存在的现象。本研究探讨了印度农村和城市地区老年人生活满意度的差异及其与健康的关系。方法使用2017-18年印度纵向老龄化研究（LASI） Wave-1的数据，样本量为30,268名60岁及以上的个体。本研究采用多变量回归模型来评估生活满意度与身体、心理和功能健康之间的关系，并对社会人口变量进行了调整。采用Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon检验检验城乡老年人生活满意度的差异。结果城市成年人的生活满意度（平均值 = 0.67,SD = 0.24）高于农村成年人（平均值 = 0.61,SD = 0.24）。心理健康是老年人生活满意度的一个重要预测农村(CI = β0.443,0.419,0.468,p & lt; 0.001),和城市地区(β = 0.459,CI = 0.428,0.489,p & lt; 0.001)和功能与生活满意度相关的健康没有明显在农村地区(β = 0.002,CI = −0.013,0.017,p & lt; 0.001),但显示了一个重要的与城市地区(β = 0.057,CI = 0.035,0.078,p & lt; 0.001),强调提供无障碍保健服务的重要性。结论：该研究强调需要采取发展举措，以提高生活在农村地区的老年人的福祉。加强卫生保健基础设施、利用医疗设施和解决功能限制是减少生活满意度差异的必要步骤。

Examining rural-urban differences in life satisfaction and its association with health among elderly people in India: Evidence from LASI survey

Background

Health-related issues are common phenomena in the human body with increasing age. This study explores the disparities in life satisfaction among the elderly population in rural and urban areas of India and its association with health.

Methods

Data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave-1 conducted in 2017-18 were used, with a sample size of 30,268 individuals aged 60 and above. The study employed multivariable regression models to assess the relationship between life satisfaction and physical, mental, and functional health, adjusting for socio-demographic variables. Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon test was performed to check the rural-urban differences in life satisfaction among elderly people.

Results

Older adults in urban areas reported higher life satisfaction (Mean = 0.67, SD = 0.24) than their rural counterparts (Mean = 0.61, SD = 0.24). Mental health was found to be a significant predictor of life satisfaction among the elderly in both rural (β 0.443, CI = 0.419, 0.468,p < 0.001), and urban areas (β = 0.459, CI = 0.428, 0.489, p < 0.001) and functional health was not significantly associated with life satisfaction in rural areas (β = 0.002, CI = −0.013, 0.017, p < 0.001), but shows a significant associated with urban areas (β = 0.057, CI = 0.035, 0.078, p < 0.001), highlighting the importance of accessible healthcare services.

Conclusions

The study highlights the need for development initiatives to enhance the well-being of senior citizens living in rural areas. Enhancing healthcare infrastructure, accessing medical facilities, and addressing functional limitations are essential steps to reduce disparities in life satisfaction.
