Preventive health service use is relatively low among older age groups. We hypothesized that aging satisfaction would be associated with increased use of preventive health services four years later.
We conducted multiple logistic regression analyses on a sample of 6177 people from the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative study of U.S. adults over the age of 50 (M age=70.6; women n=3648; men n=2529).
Aging satisfaction was not associated with obtaining flu shots. However, in fully-adjusted models, each standard deviation increase in aging satisfaction was associated with higher odds of reporting service use for cholesterol tests (OR=1.10, 95% CI=1.00-1.20). Further, women with higher aging satisfaction were more likely to obtain a mammogram/x-ray (OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.06-1.29) or Pap smear (OR=1.10, 95% CI=1.00-1.21). Among men, the odds of obtaining a prostate exam increased with higher aging satisfaction (OR=1.20 95% CI=1.09-1.34).
These results suggest that aging satisfaction potentially influences preventive health service use after age 50.
老年人群中预防性健康服务的使用率相对较低。我们假设对衰老的满意度会与四年后预防性健康服务使用的增加相关。
我们对来自健康与退休研究的6177人样本进行了多项逻辑回归分析，该研究是一项针对美国50岁以上成年人的具有全国代表性的研究（平均年龄 = 70.6岁；女性n = 3648；男性n = 2529）。
对衰老的满意度与接种流感疫苗无关。然而，在完全调整模型中，衰老满意度每增加一个标准差，报告进行胆固醇检测服务使用的几率就更高（比值比 = 1.10，95%置信区间 = 1.00 - 1.20）。此外，对衰老满意度较高的女性更有可能进行乳房X光检查（比值比 = 1.17，95%置信区间 = 1.06 - 1.29）或巴氏涂片检查（比值比 = 1.10，95%置信区间 = 1.00 - 1.21）。在男性中，进行前列腺检查的几率随着对衰老满意度的提高而增加（比值比 = 1.20，95%置信区间 = 1.09 - 1.34）。
这些结果表明，对衰老的满意度可能会影响50岁以后预防性健康服务的使用。
