This study investigated the relationships between types of activity and quality of life (QOL) for older men and women at different ages. Based on cross-sectional data that included 220 community-dwelling elderly persons aged 65 and older in southern Taiwan, the results showed that the participation rates in many activities declined with age for both genders. Social activity and solitary leisure activity were significantly associated with QOL for old-old men, but not for young-old men. Only social activity was significantly associated with QOL for young-old women, but there was no significant association between any activity and QOL for old-old women.
本研究调查了不同年龄段老年男性和女性的活动类型与生活质量(QOL)之间的关系。基于横断面数据,该数据涵盖了台湾南部220名65岁及以上的社区居住老年人,结果显示,许多活动的参与率在两性中均随年龄下降。社交活动和独自休闲活动与高龄男性的生活质量显著相关,但与低龄男性无关。只有社交活动与低龄女性的生活质量显著相关,但任何活动与高龄女性的生活质量之间均无显著关联。
