| Nowadays,with the intensified aging process,the number of elderly people in China has exceeded 200 million,accounting for about a quarter of the world's total elderly population.The huge number of elderly people has brought unprecedented challenges to the society,economy and health care.It is particularly important to improve the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly.Located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the sub-plateau region,Lanzhou is also the only way to pass the ancient Silk Road.Therefore,it is of great significance to improve the overall level of the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly in Lanzhou.Based on this,this dissertation studies the influence of sociodemographic factors on the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly in Lanzhou,explores the relationship between the two,and puts forward some feasible suggestions to promote the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly in Lanzhou.In this study,relevant research methods such as document research,testing,questionnaire,mathematical statistics,and quantile regression were used to Health-related physical fitness study sociodemographic characteristics(age,gender,education,monthly income,living status,occupation before retirement)of 750 elderly people aged 60 and above recruited in six districts of three counties in Lanzhou.Considering the influence of age,gender,education,income,living conditions,and pre-retirement occupation,the basic conditions and differences of various indicators of Health-related physical fitness in the elderly in Lanzhou were analyzed.Based on this,quantile regression was used to explore the changes in quantiles of the overall level Health-related physical fitness of the elderly in Lanzhou.Research indicates:1.Taking gender as the influencing factor,the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of the female elderly is lower than that of the male;taking age as the influencing factor,the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of the elderly shows a downward trend with age.As a whole,the negative effect of age on the overalllevel of Health-related physical fitness of male is more obvious than that of female,that is,with the increase of age,the gap between the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of men and women becomes smaller.2.Taking the academic qualification as the influencing factor,it shows that in all dimensions of elderly Health-related physical fitness,the cardiopulmonary fitness,muscle fitness,upper limb flexibility fitness,sensitivity and balance fitness of the elderly become better as the academic qualifications increase.However,there is no significant effect on the body composition and the flexibility of the lower limbs.On the overall level of Health-related physical fitness,the impact of academic qualifications is positive.And the positive effect of qualifications on the overall level of female Health-related physical fitness is more common.3.Taking monthly income as an influencing factor,it shows that in all dimensions of elderly Health-related physical fitness,cardiopulmonary fitness,muscle fitness,upper limb flexibility fitness,sensitivity and balance fitness of the elderly are raising with the increase of monthly income.However,there is no significant effect on body composition and flexibility of the lower limbs.The impact of monthly income on the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of the elderly is positive.Moreover,the monthly income has a greater impact on the overall level of male Health-related physical fitness.4.Taking living condition as the influencing factor,the elderly who don't live with their children have better healthy fitness on upper limb flexibility physical fitness,sensitivity and balance fitness are obviously superior than those who live with their children.But there is no significant effect of living condition on cardiopulmonary fitness,muscle fitness,lower limb flexibility and body composition.In terms of the overall level of Health-related physical fitness,the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of the elderly who don't live with their children is better than those who live with their children.And living conditions have a more general impact on the overall level of Health-related physical fitness in women.5.Take different occupations before retirement as influencing factors.The muscle fitness,upper limb flexibility,sensitivity and balance fitness of the elderly who wereregular workers before retirement were better than those of informal workers,farmers and the elderly without occupation.There was no significant difference in cardiopulmonary fitness,lower limb flexibility and body composition.In terms of the overall level of Health-related physical fitness,compared with "regular workers" and "unemployed",the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of the elderly is obviously superior;compared with "non-employed" and "informal workers" and "farmers",there is no significant difference in the overall level of Health-related physical fitness of the elderly.Based on the above results,the following suggestions are proposed for promoting the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly in Lanzhou:1.The community should organize elderly people to actively participate in physical exercise activities,especially for the elderly,Designated social sports instructors and volunteers should be appointed to provide special guidance to improve the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly.2.The government should further improve the medical security system,expand the coverage,and extend the scope of medical reimbursement for chronic diseases.At the same time,it should provide more policy support for pre-retirement informal workers,farmers and non-employed seniors such as increasing pensions and the monthly income of the elderly to lighten the financial burden of the elderly,enable them,to devote more energy to physical exercise and effectively improve the Health-related physical fitness of the elderly.3.The awareness of re-education of the elderly should be strengthened and we can encourage the elderly to participate in elderly university training.We should encourage elderly people who live with their children to actively participate in various sports and fitness activities,especially female elderly people to increase their exercise time and intensity.Meanwhile,children should communicate more with their parents,which can maintain a harmonious and perfect family environment,promote the physical and mental health of the elderly and effectively improve the life quality of the elderly. |
