Abstract

Background: Aging affects physical, mental, and social functions, which can lead to an increase in frailty. Old adults with frailty syndrome are prone to disabilities and hospitalization. Lifestyle is a context-based factor that has the potential to prevent frailty.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between lifestyle and frailty among Iranian community-dwelling older adults.

Design setting: This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study. The participants were 513 older adults over 60 years by the convenience sampling method from the retirement center.

Measurements: Data were collected using Tilberg's frailty index, the Iranian elderly lifestyle questionnaire, and the Mini-Cog test. Data were analyzed with SPSS v.26 software by chi-square and logistic regression tests.

Results: The age of the participants was 66.43 ± 4.69 years. The male-to-female sex ratio was 1.5 (39.2% women). The lifestyle of 96 (19.3%) old adults was unfavorable. 18.7 percent of older adults had Frailty syndrome. The logistic regression test showed that moderate and favorable lifestyle (OR= 0.06; 95% CI: 0.02-0.16), age over 75 years (OR= 5.25; 95% CI: 2.35-11.69), retired employment status (OR= 0.13; 95% CI: 0.29-0.05) are factors that have a significant relationship with frailty (P< 0.05).

Conclusion: The findings showed that lifestyle can predict frailty. Therefore, it seems that an optimal lifestyle can prevent the frailty of older adults.

伊朗社区老年人生活方式与身体虚弱的关系:初步研究。

背景:衰老会影响身体、心理和社会功能，从而导致身体虚弱的增加。患有虚弱综合症的老年人容易残疾和住院。生活方式是一个基于环境的因素，它有可能预防虚弱。目的:本研究旨在评估居住在伊朗社区的老年人的生活方式和虚弱之间的关系。设计设置:这是一个描述性分析的横断面研究。采用方便抽样的方法，从退休中心抽取了513名60岁以上的老年人作为研究对象。测量方法:使用Tilberg虚弱指数、伊朗老年人生活方式问卷和Mini-Cog测试收集数据。数据采用SPSS v.26软件进行卡方检验和logistic回归检验。结果:年龄66.43±4.69岁。男女性别比为1.5(39.2%为女性)。96名(19.3%)老年人生活方式不佳。18.7%的老年人患有虚弱综合征。logistic回归检验显示，适度、良好的生活方式(OR= 0.06;95% CI: 0.02-0.16)，年龄超过75岁(OR= 5.25;95% CI: 2.35-11.69)，退休就业状态(OR= 0.13;95% CI: 0.29-0.05)是与虚弱有显著关系的因素(P< 0.05)。结论:研究结果表明，生活方式可以预测机体的脆弱性。因此，一种理想的生活方式似乎可以预防老年人的虚弱。
