social, economic, mental, physical, and functional resources. Two hundred and one participants in the Georgia Centenarian Study provided data for this longitudinal study: 70 sexagenarians, 63 octogenarians, and 68 centenarians. Those in their 60s and 80s were followed up within 60 months; due to mortality attrition, centenarians were followed up within 20 months. Centenarians experienced the lowest levels of resources relative to those in their 80s and 60s. Over time they primarily experienced loss in activities of daily living, highlighting that the ability to maximize gains and mitigate losses over time for older adults is highly associated with various resources essential to well-being. Findings suggest that older adults'-especially the very old-resources should be concurrently assessed in a multidimensional analysis by researchers and practitioners who work with older adults in various settings.
本研究通过杜克大学老年医学多学科功能评估问卷对社会、经济、心理、身体和功能这五种资源随时间的变化进行了考察。佐治亚百岁老人研究中的201名参与者为这项纵向研究提供了数据：70名六旬老人、63名八旬老人和68名百岁老人。六旬和八旬老人在60个月内接受随访；由于死亡损耗，百岁老人在20个月内接受随访。与八旬和六旬老人相比，百岁老人的资源水平最低。随着时间的推移，他们主要在日常生活活动方面出现下降，这突出表明，老年人随着时间推移实现收益最大化和损失最小化的能力与幸福所需的各种资源高度相关。研究结果表明，研究人员和从业者在各种环境中与老年人打交道时，应通过多维度分析同时评估老年人（尤其是高龄老人）的资源。
