Abstract

This study aimed to document the typology of social participation and network among older Canadians and examine their associations with health. Using 2011-2015 cross-sectional data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, a latent profile analysis was conducted to identify patterns of social participation and network, and multinomial logistic regressions examined associations with self-rated health. Four types of social participation and networks characterized older Canadians: diverse (74.0%), childless (12.1%), restricted (9.7%), and very socially active (4.3%). Compared to the diverse group and excellent/very good health, belonging to the restricted group was associated with higher probabilities of reporting fair or poor health, both general (1.95; p < .001) and mental (2.18; p < .001). Still comparing to the diverse group and excellent/very good health, the very socially active group presented lower likelihood of reporting good general health (0.82; p = .03). These results suggest that the social participation and network are associated with health inequalities in older Canadians. Future studies should look at the role of virtual interactions in the health of older adults.

老年人社会参与、网络与健康的类型:来自加拿大老龄化纵向研究的结果。
本研究旨在记录加拿大老年人社会参与和网络的类型,并检查其与健康的关系。利用2011-2015年加拿大老龄化纵向研究的横断面数据,进行了潜在剖面分析,以确定社会参与和网络的模式,并使用多项逻辑回归检验了与自评健康的关联。加拿大老年人的社会参与和网络有四种类型:多样化(74.0%)、无子女(12.1%)、受限(9.7%)和非常活跃的社会活动(4.3%)。与多样化组和极好/非常好的健康状况相比,属于受限组的人报告健康状况一般或不佳的可能性更高,两者都是一般(1.95;P < 0.001)和精神(2.18;P < 0.001)。尽管如此,与多样化组和优秀/非常健康的组相比,非常社交活跃的组报告总体健康状况良好的可能性较低(0.82;P = .03)。这些结果表明,社会参与和网络与加拿大老年人的健康不平等有关。未来的研究应该着眼于虚拟互动在老年人健康中的作用。
