Abstract

Older people have been identified as a particularly vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the question of how older people actually fared during the COVID-19 pandemic has only been sporadically addressed. This article aims to partly fill this gap by classifying subgroups of older people using Latent Class Analysis. Indicators used are: risk perception, safety behavior, and well-being. To predict subgroup membership, age, gender, living arrangement, children, chronic illness, conflict, socioeconomic status, and migration history are controlled for. The data analyzed stem from a phone survey among 491 older people (75-100 years) in Germany conducted in September/October 2020. Results show that three subgroups of older people - the least, the more and the most affected - can be formed based on their risk perception, safety behavior, and well-being, indicating the usefulness of these three constructs for identifying and studying older people particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to contain it.

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的德国老年人:受影响最小、最多和最严重。
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,老年人被确定为特别脆弱的群体。然而,老年人在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的实际情况如何,这一问题只是偶尔得到解决。本文旨在通过使用潜在类分析对老年人进行分类来部分填补这一空白。使用的指标是:风险感知、安全行为和幸福感。为了预测亚群体成员,年龄、性别、居住安排、儿童、慢性疾病、冲突、社会经济地位和移民史都被控制。分析的数据来自于2020年9月/ 10月对德国491名老年人(75-100岁)进行的电话调查。结果表明,根据老年人的风险认知、安全行为和幸福感,可以形成受影响最小、最大和最严重的三个老年人亚组,这表明这三个结构对于识别和研究特别受COVID-19大流行影响的老年人以及所采取的控制措施是有用的。补充信息:在线版本包含补充资料,可在10.1007/s12062-021-09352-4获得。
