The Investigation And Research About Health Fitness And Quality Of Life For Old People Over70in Suzhou

Objective：With the population aging process is accelerating, the elderly in our country isdeveloped "fast","large scale","peak","aged".However, our country’s aged care workstarted late, We are short of the evaluation system for the elderly aged70and above.Inaddition, the influence factors on the quality of life of the elderly is numerous, but thequality of the living conditions of the elderly from the physical point of view almost None.Therefore, this paper selects a sample of the constitution of the elderly aged70and abovetesting and quality of living survey, understand its characteristics,and to study therelationship between the physical fitness and quality of life of the elderly, as a guide toparticipate in physical exercise and provide a theoretical basis.Methods:The questionnaire survey method is used.Use of face-to-face survey，the face to faceinvestigation were selected to complete the health-related physical fitness test in elderlypatients，this study uses SF-36scale to investigate the quality of life for the elderly. Tocarry out physical fitness test by using the method of experiment, by stratified clustersampling method, selecting8streets in the urban area of Bengbu,in2013, each streetselected from3communities, were deployed500people over the age of70. Preliminaryanalysis of only352elderly people meet test requirements, the176men and women, aged70-94（78.8±5.9） years old,5years as the division standard, thesubjects were dividedinto70-74group,75-79group, the three group of above80years old. Reference Americafunctional fitness index testing and test the old Chinese national fitness group. Thecompletion of data entry and statistical software SPSS11.5is adopted, the measurementdata using said, were compared with “t” test or analysis of variance, with p<0.05as the testlevel. Result:1.In body composition, comparison of old man in different age groups, the mean BMIchanged little. Comparison between different gender, the female is higher than male,but thedifference was not significant.2.In flexibility, more old people of different age groups,70years old and aboveflexibility is generally low, and along with the age growth decline trend, except fordifferences in70-74years old group and75-79group does not have theexternal, theremaining group differences were highly significant, especially into after the age of85, arate of decline more obvious. From the gender perspective,women are better than men.3.In power quality, along with the age growth, the muscle strength decreasedgradually, especially after entering the80year old, drop speed obviously, except thedifference compared with the75-79age group70-74years old group was not significant,the remaining group differences were highly significant. Gender comparison found thatmalestrength than women, the grip index differences were highly significant.4.In heart and lung function, along with the growth of the age, the old mancardiorespiratory fitness also has a downward trend, especially in the80years, rate ofdeclinewas more pronounced. Comparison of different age groups, except the differencecompared with the75-79age group70-74years old group was not significant, othergroups there was significant difference between. Different gender comparison, found thatthe male heart and lung function than women, vital capacity index differences were highlysignificant.5.In balance ability, along with the age growth, balance ability decreased, especiallyin the80years after thedecline rate obviously, in addition, differences between70-74yearsold group and75-79group were not significant,other group differences were highlysignificant.Comparison of different gender balance in elderly, malefemale, the differencewas significant.6.Comparison of different gender, old man, from the mean scores than women in RE,RP, BP, VT, RE, MH dimension of men, the BP dimension differences were highlysignificant （p<0.01）. In the GH, SF dimension, lower in men than in women, but thescore difference is not big, the MH dimensions were significant differences （p<0.05）,showed that the men on the physical health and mental health totalbetter than women in theemotional and social communication, women are better than men. 7.In different age groups, in the RE, RE dimension of the mean scores increase withage, the trend of decline, whichin the RE dimension, difference of70-74years old groupand the75-79group was significant （p<0.05）, comparedwith the70-74group over80years old, the age group of75-79years old group was highly significant （p<0.01） allother dimensions, did not show a downward trend, the ageof the elderly have impact onquality of life, but the mainphysiological functions of dimensions of the elderly.8.There is a positive correlation of physical fitness testscores and quality of life of theelderly in each dimension of the mean scores, the better the health, quality of lifescore ishigh, the performance of physiology health total score is more obvious.Conclusion:1、70years and above the physical condition of the aged is generally poor, in additionto body composition indexes,each index test status, there is a downward trend withage,among them80years old the rate of decline was more pronounced.2、Comparison of different sex old man, old woman’s body composition and flexibilityquality index is better than the male, but the rest of the test indexes werelower than men,especially for the quality and function of heart and lung power.3、The age and gender factors on quality of life of the elderlyhave influence, the agefactor mainly through effects on physiological functions and functional dimensions toinfluence the quality of life of the elderly, between different sexes, men in the aspect offunction and physiologicalfunction of physiological score is higher than the female,femaleelderly in the emotional communication and social interaction scores than men. Maintain apositive correlation between health status and quality of life of each dimension, the betterthe quality of life of physical condition, the higher score, the total score of physical healthis more obvious.4、Given the time and money, this article studies is only the first step, the follow-up workwill revolve around the elderly health intervention measures to carry out the study, the use ofthe means of sports for the elderly health intervention, so as to promote their health.
