This study examined whether the association of quality of life (QoL) with perceived neighbourhood problems is stronger in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) than in those without OA. Of all 294 participants, 23.8% had OA. More perceived neighbourhood problems were associated with a stronger decrease in QoL over time in participants with OA (B=-0.018; p=0.02) than in those without OA (B=-0.004; p=0.39). Physical activity did not mediate this relationship. Older adults with OA may be less able to deal with more challenging environments.
本研究调查了骨关节炎(OA)老年患者中,生活质量(QoL)与邻里问题认知之间的关联是否比无OA的老年人更强。在所有294名参与者中,23.8%患有OA。与无OA的参与者(B=-0.004;p=0.39)相比,有OA的参与者中,更多的邻里问题认知与随时间推移QoL的更强下降相关(B=-0.018;p=0.02)。身体活动并未介导这种关系。患有OA的老年人应对更具挑战性环境的能力可能较弱。
