摘要
生活满意度是一个人对生活的总体评估,基于他们认为自己拥有的好的方面。它对有效和健康的老龄化至关重要,并与社会和健康福祉密切相关。本研究从社会人口特征、功能健康、心理健康和身体健康四个方面探讨影响老年人自我评价生活满意度的主要因素。研究方法这项研究有30,370名60岁及以上的参与者。利用2017-18年印度纵向老龄化研究(LASI- 1)的第一波数据,我们使用描述性统计来评估患病率,并使用卡方检验来寻找相关性。此外,为了量化预测变量对生活满意度的调整影响,我们使用了多变量有序逻辑回归模型。结果多因素回归模型证实了身体健康(AOR = 2.044, p <;0.01)、心理健康(AOR = 1.205, p <;非抑郁个体为0.01),功能健康(AOR = 0.829, p <;(残障)对生活满意度有显著影响。此外,年龄、女性、社会参与和非空巢生活安排有助于提高满意度。这些发现强调了将多维健康因素纳入旨在改善印度老龄化人口生活质量的政策的重要性。结论本研究有助于了解印度老龄化人口的主观幸福感,弥合相关行为的知识差距。鉴于正在进行的人口结构转型,迫切需要在个人、家庭和社区各级采取多部门、政策驱动的办法,促进老年人的身体、社会和精神健康,确保更健康、更充实的老龄化经历。
Assessing the Various Impacts of Physical, Mental, and Functional Health on Life Satisfaction Among the Older Adults in India by Using LASI Wave 1 Data
Introduction
Life satisfaction is a person's overall assessment of their life based on the good aspects they believe they have. It is essential to effective and healthy aging and is strongly associated with social and health well-being. This research attempts to investigate the major factors that influence older adults'self-rated life satisfaction, with an emphasis on sociodemographic characteristics, functional health, mental health, and physical health.
Methodology
There are 30,370 participants in this study that are 60 years of age or older. Utilizing data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI- 1), which was carried out in 2017–18, we evaluated the prevalence using descriptive statistics and looked for correlations using the chi-square test. Additionally, to quantify the adjusted impacts of predicting variables on life satisfaction, multiple multivariate ordered logistic regression models were used.
Results
Multivariate regression models confirm that physical health (AOR = 2.044, p < 0.01), mental health (AOR = 1.205, p < 0.01 for non-depressed individuals), and functional health (AOR = 0.829, p < 0.01 for IADL disability) significantly impact life satisfaction. Furthermore, older age, female gender, social engagement, and non-empty nest living arrangements contribute to higher satisfaction levels. These findings underscore the importance of integrating multidimensional health factors into policies aimed at improving the quality of life for India’s aging population.
Conclusion
This study contributes to the understanding of subjective wellbeing among India's ageing population, bridging knowledge gaps on associated behaviors. Given the ongoing demographic transition, there is a pressing need for multi-sectoral, policy-driven approaches at individual, family, and community levels to promote the physical, social, and mental wellbeing of older adults, ensuring healthier and more fulfilling ageing experiences.
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.
