摘要

行动障碍是一个重大的全球问题,尤其影响到低收入和中等收入国家的老年人,因为这些国家获得行动装置的机会和有关其使用情况的国家统计数据有限。此外,对移动设备使用的研究往往忽略了跨国和文化视角。本研究利用2015年全国健康与老龄化趋势研究(NHATS)和中国健康与退休纵向研究(CHARLS)的统一的、具有全国代表性的数据,通过比较美国和中国社区居住老年人的移动设备使用情况和相关特征,旨在解决这一差距。美国老年人使用移动设备的比例高于中国老年人(22.2% vs. 16.3%)

Prevalence and Characteristics of Community-Dwelling Older Adults Using Mobility Devices: A Cross-National Comparison between the United States and China.

Mobility disability is a significant global issue, particularly affecting older adults in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to mobility devices and national statistics on their use is limited. Additionally, research on mobility device usage often overlooks cross-national and cultural perspectives. This study aims to address this gap by comparing mobility device usage and associated characteristics among community-dwelling older adults in the United States and China, using harmonized, nationally representative data from the 2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). U.S. older adults exhibited a higher prevalence of mobility device use than those in China (22.2% vs. 16.3%, P<0.001), particularly in the use of walkers (9.9% vs. 0.5%, P<0.001) and wheelchairs (5.0% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001). In both countries, older mobility devices users were significantly more disadvantaged than non-users (Ps<0.001). The sensitivity analysis further reveals that U.S. users were more likely to be obese with a higher burden of chronic diseases, while Chinese users were more likely engaged in work and caregiving tasks rather than recreational activities (Ps<0.001). These findings underscore the widespread disadvantages faced by older mobility devices users in community settings, highlighting the global needs for targeted supports.
