Physical activity (PA) interventions deployed using eHealth technologies have been shown to improve cardiovascular health (CVH) and physical function in older adults. This study tested the preliminary efficacy of a 12-week hybrid (web-based and center-based) PA intervention combining the use of a smartwatch and mobile application. Our intervention was concurrently implemented in-person at the local senior welfare center and at-home through a web-based modality. Participants (n = 120) had an average age of 72.7 year and were largely female (75%). Health status was categorized as low-risk (26.7%), middle-risk (43.3%), and high-risk (30%). Overall, increases were evident in diastolic blood pressure (t = -3.55, p < .01), and high-density-lipoprotein (t = -3.02, p < .01), with decreases seen for triglyceride levels (t = 2.42, p < .05) at posttest. Participants showed improvements in muscular function (t = -3.75, p < .001) and cardiopulmonary endurance (t = -2.34, p < .05). Moreover, while controlling for covariate, participants in the middle-risk health category showed lower diastolic blood pressure (b = -4.54, p < .05) and greater triglyceride levels (b = 37.74, p < .001) and cardiopulmonary endurance (b = 6.98, p < .05) than those within the low-risk health group. Participants with high-risk health showed greater triglyceride levels than those with low-risk group (b = 40.57, p < .001). Further studies should test a PA intervention using a randomized controlled trial design, with the expansion of the surveyed covariates and possible important mechanistic confounders.
利用电子健康技术开展的身体活动干预已被证明可改善老年人的心血管健康和身体功能。本研究测试了结合使用智能手表和移动应用程序的为期12周的混合(基于网络和基于中心的)PA干预的初步效果。我们的干预措施同时在当地的老年福利中心实施,并通过基于网络的方式在家中实施。参与者(n = 120)平均年龄为72.7岁,大部分为女性(75%)。健康状况分为低危(26.7%)、中危(43.3%)和高危(30%)。总的来说,舒张压(t = -3.55, p < 0.01)和高密度脂蛋白(t = -3.02, p < 0.01)明显升高,甘油三酯水平降低(t = 2.42, p < 0.05)。参与者表现出肌肉功能(t = -3.75, p < .001)和心肺耐力(t = -2.34, p < .05)的改善。此外,在控制协变量的情况下,与低风险健康组相比,中等风险健康组的参与者表现出更低的舒张压(b = -4.54, p < 0.05)、更高的甘油三酯水平(b = 37.74, p < 0.001)和心肺耐力(b = 6.98, p < 0.05)。健康高危组的甘油三酯水平高于低危组(b = 40.57, p < 0.001)。进一步的研究应该使用随机对照试验设计来检验PA干预,扩大调查的协变量和可能的重要机制混杂因素。

ABSTRACT There are widespread anti-old attitudes held by younger people. Older adults are generally perceived as closely associated with illnesses. Thus, younger people with a higher degree of germ aversion (i.e. aversion to disease transmission) are thought to view the older population more negatively. In Study 1, we conducted an online survey (N = 981) and found that, even after controlling for the related variables such as fear of death, those with higher germ aversion had more anti-old attitudes. In Study 2, we conducted an online experiment (N = 689). Participants in the experimental group read an explanatory text which showed that older adults in general are healthier than people perceive and those in the control group read an irrelevant explanatory text. Results showed that anti-old attitudes were weaker in the experimental group than in the control group; this effect lasted at least one week. In Study 3, we conducted an online experiment similar to Study 2 (N = 997). In the experimental group, anti-old attitudes toward both the young-old (aged 65–74 years) and old-old (aged 75 years and over) were reduced. Further, advocates for policies to support older adults increased in the experimental group. The experimental manipulation in this study has the advantage that it can be conducted with a large number of participants in a simple procedure. Our findings would be useful in gerontological research aimed at improving anti-old attitudes and creating a society, in which older adults can live comfortably.
