Abstract

Background

Participation in various social activities of elderly has a significant impact on overall health and quality of life, including physical and metal health. Therefore, in this study, we aim to analyze the types of social activity participation among community-dwelling elderly and examine differences in characteristics, health status, and quality of life according to these types of participation of social activities. Thus, we purpose to utilize the findings of this study as a foundation basis for research aimed at promoting services and intervention related to social activities of elderly in community.

Method

This study utilized the 9th wave (2022) panel data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Elderly Employment(KLoSA). Latent class analysis was utilized to explore types of social activities. To assess the goodness of fit of the latent model, χ² (Chi-square) test, Akaike Information Criteria (AIC), Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC), Sample-Size Adjusted Bayesian Information Criteria (SABIC) indices, and Lo-Mendell-Rubin adjusted Likelihood Ratio Test (LMR-LRT) were employed. One-way ANOVA was conducted to examine characteristics across different types.

Result

The study included a total of 6,057 elderly individuals aged 60 and above residing in the local community for analysis. The results demonstrate four distinct types of social activity participation among the elderly. These four groups were named based on the types of social activities they engaged in: “Religious and Social Activity Centered,” “Social and Leisure Activity Centered,” “Social Activity Centered,” and “Inactive.” The analysis of characteristics across these types showed statistically significant differences in demographic factors such as age, marital status, and religion. In terms of health-related aspects, subjective health and overall quality of life indices exhibited statistically significant differences among the types.

Conclusion

Social activities among the elderly were analyzed into four distinct types based on the activities they engaged in. The participation of elderly individuals in various social activities is considered a crucial indicator for improving health and quality of life. It is hoped that this study will serve as a foundational basis for developing services and intervention programs for elderly individuals in the community, aimed at facilitating their participation in diverse social activities.

社区老年人社会活动参与类型与健康水平和生活质量的分析:应用潜在阶层分析
老年人参加各种社会活动对整体健康和生活质量,包括身体和精神健康有重大影响。因此,在本研究中,我们旨在分析社区居住老年人参与社会活动的类型,并根据这些类型的社会活动参与来检验特征、健康状况和生活质量的差异。因此,我们希望借由本研究的结果,作为促进社区长者社会活动相关服务及干预的研究基础。方法本研究采用韩国老年就业纵向研究(KLoSA)的第九波(2022)面板数据。使用潜在阶级分析来探索社会活动的类型。为了评估潜在模型的拟合优度,采用χ 2(卡方)检验、赤池信息标准(AIC)、贝叶斯信息标准(BIC)、样本量调整贝叶斯信息标准(SABIC)指标和Lo‐Mendell‐Rubin调整似然比检验(LMR‐LRT)。采用单因素方差分析来检验不同类型的特征。结果本研究共纳入6057名居住在当地社区的60岁及以上老年人进行分析。结果表明,老年人参与社会活动有四种不同的类型。这四组人是根据他们参与的社会活动类型来命名的:“以宗教和社会活动为中心”、“以社会和休闲活动为中心”、“以社会活动为中心”和“不活跃”。对这些类型的特征分析显示,年龄、婚姻状况和宗教信仰等人口因素在统计上存在显著差异。在健康相关方面,主观健康指数和整体生活质量指数在不同类型之间表现出统计学上的显著差异。结论根据老年人社会活动的类型,将老年人社会活动分为四种不同的类型。老年人参加各种社会活动被认为是改善健康和生活质量的一个重要指标。希望本研究可作为发展社区长者服务及干预计划的基础,以协助他们参与不同的社会活动。

期刊介绍: Alzheimer's & Dementia is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to bridge knowledge gaps in dementia research by covering the entire spectrum, from basic science to clinical trials to social and behavioral investigations. It provides a platform for rapid communication of new findings and ideas, optimal translation of research into practical applications, increasing knowledge across diverse disciplines for early detection, diagnosis, and intervention, and identifying promising new research directions. In July 2008, Alzheimer's & Dementia was accepted for indexing by MEDLINE, recognizing its scientific merit and contribution to Alzheimer's research.
