A Study On The Quality Of Life And Influencing Factors Of The Elderly In A University Community In Wuhan

OBJECTIVE: To understand the quality of life and its influencing factors of the elderly in college community;To explore the intervention methods to improve the quality of life of the aged at home;Performs the function of a community function:community assessment,disease prevention,hierarchical diagnosis and treatment.METHODS: A structured questionnaire is used for convenient sampling.Community doctors who have undergone unified training are actively and passively cooperating to complete and sign the questionnaire for community health service centers,elderly activity centers,squares and living areas in Huazhong University of Science and Technology,who are 60 and older.Elderly people with informed consent conduct a closed questionnaire survey.After finishing the survey,the data was entered into Epidate3.1,and the exported data was analyzed with SPSS 26.0 statistical analysis software.The data were processed by T test,single factor analysis,multiple linear regression analysis,and so on.RESULTS: A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed to the elderly in a community of a university,and 378 elderly people accepted the questionnaire(the response rate was 94.5%).10 invalid questionnaires were deleted because the data was incomplete or the conditions were not met,and finally 368 valid questionnaires were included for statistics.The average PCS was 41.71(standard deviation 10.06),and the average MCS was 49.83(standard deviation 7.40).In addition,the elderly in the community scored the lowest in the overall health dimension GH(44.9 ± 25.60)and the highest in the mental health dimension MH(75.20 ± 16.27).Age,debilitating state,exercise have a significant correlation with the PCS of the elderly(P <0.01).The PCS of the elderly(β=-0.227,P = 0.000)and long-lived elderly(β=-0.103,P = 0.001)was significantly lower than that of the younger ones.The PCS of the pre-weakened(β =-0.327,P = 0.000)and debilitated(β=-0.368,P = 0.000)was significantly lower than that of the strong.The weekly PCS of participants who exercise regularly(β= 0.355,P = 0.000)was significantly higher than those who did not participate in exercise,and the weekly PCS of occasional exercisers(β=-0.029,P = 0.484)showed no significant difference from those who did not.Depression,weakness,and exercise have a significant correlation with MCS of the elderly(P <0.01).Those with depression(β=-0.227,P = 0.000)had significantly lower MCS than those without depression.The MCS of those in the pre-weak period(β=-0.159,P = 0.003)was significantly lower than that of the strong.Weekly exercise participants(β= 0.182,P =0.003)had significantly higher MCS than those who did not.CONCLUSION: In the functional community of huazhong university of science and technology,the physical health level of the elderly has basically reached the average level of some developed regions in China,and the mental health level is higher than the average level of some developed regions in China.Age,frailty,depression,and exercise were significantly correlated with the health-related quality of life of the elderly.By improving the mental state of the elderly,early assessment and intervention of the elderly state of frailty,quantitative guidance of the elderly exercise(exercise type,exercise time,frequency,intensity),is expected to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
