Abstract

Aim

To investigate the relationship between kinesiophobic attitudes and their causes and frailty in older people.

Methods

This descriptive, relationship-seeking study was conducted with 302 people aged over 65 years. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews between July and September 2023, using a personal information form, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, the Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS) and the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS). The data were analysed using Pearson's correlation test, linear regression and binary logistic regression.

Results

A total of 92.7% of older adults experienced high levels of kinesiophobia, while 80.5% presented various degrees of frailty. Most people's kinesiophobia is caused by psychological factors. There is a positive and significant correlation between kinesiophobia and frailty, as well as between the causes of kinesiophobia and frailty. The linear regression model showed that age, sex, physical activity, pain score, kinesiophobic attitudes and causes explained 52.1% of the variation in the EFS score. The binary logistic regression model, based on the frailty categorical variable (frail vs. non-frail), found that age, sex, physical activity, pain score and kinesiophobic attitudes accounted for 49.0% of the variation in the EFS score.

Conclusions

Kinesiophobic attitudes and causes are important risk factors for frailty and can predict an individual's frailty state.

老年人运动恐惧态度与虚弱的关系

目的探讨老年人运动恐惧态度及其成因与虚弱的关系。方法对302名65岁以上老年人进行描述性、寻求关系的研究。数据是在2023年7月至9月期间通过面对面访谈收集的，使用个人信息表，坦帕运动恐惧症量表，运动恐惧症原因量表（KCS）和埃德蒙顿虚弱量表（EFS）。采用Pearson相关检验、线性回归和二元logistic回归对数据进行分析。结果92.7%的老年人有高度的运动恐惧症，80.5%的老年人有不同程度的虚弱。大多数人的运动恐惧症是由心理因素引起的。运动恐惧症和虚弱之间，以及运动恐惧症和虚弱的原因之间，存在显著的正相关。线性回归模型显示，年龄、性别、体力活动、疼痛评分、运动恐惧态度和原因解释了52.1%的EFS评分变异。基于虚弱分类变量（虚弱与非虚弱）的二元逻辑回归模型发现，年龄、性别、体力活动、疼痛评分和运动恐惧症态度占EFS评分变化的49.0%。结论运动恐惧态度及其成因是虚弱的重要危险因素，可预测个体的虚弱状态。
