摘要

老年中心有促进健康老龄化的潜力，但尚未得到充分的研究。本研究的目的是通过对大洛杉矶地区23个老年中心的老年人的调查数据，研究老年人参加老年中心与老年人健康结果（孤独、心理健康和身体健康）之间的关系。线性混合效应模型的结果显示，更长时间和更频繁地参加老年中心与更低的孤独感和更好的心理健康有关，性别和年龄组（年龄）之间存在差异

Association Between Senior Center Attendance and Older Adults' Health.

Senior centers have the potential to promote healthy aging but have not been studied sufficiently. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between senior center attendance and older adults' health outcomes (loneliness, mental health, and physical health), using survey data collected from older adults at 23 senior centers in the Greater Los Angeles Area. Results of linear mixed effects models showed that longer and more frequent senior center attendance was associated with lower levels of loneliness and better mental health, with variations between genders and age groups (age <75 vs. age ≥75). Additionally, senior center attendance length and frequency had a positive relationship with physical health for older adults aged 75+, but did not have a significant relationship with physical health for older adults younger than 75. This study highlights the importance of senior center engagement to older adults' health.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
