The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between falling in the past 12 months and subjective well-being in a broader sense.
Cross-sectional data were gathered from a representative sample of community-dwelling individuals in the second half of life (40 to 95 years; n=7808) in Germany. While life satisfaction was quantified using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), positive and negative affect was measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS).
The prevalence of falling in the preceding 12 months was 17.6%. After controlling for sociodemographic factors, various lifestyle factors, self-rated health, and morbidity, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that falling in the past 12 months was associated with higher negative affect (β=0.08, p<0.001), lower positive affect (β=-0.04, p<0.05) as well as lower life satisfaction (β=-0.12, p<0.001).
The present study stresses the relationship between falls and subjective well-being. Future longitudinal studies are needed to validate the findings of the present cross-sectional study and to better understand the nature of this relationship.
本研究旨在确定过去12个月内跌倒与更广泛意义上的主观幸福感之间的关系。
从德国具有代表性的社区居住的中年及老年个体样本（40至95岁；n = 7808）中收集横断面数据。使用生活满意度量表（SWLS）对生活满意度进行量化，使用积极和消极情绪量表（PANAS）测量积极和消极情绪。
过去12个月内跌倒的发生率为17.6%。在控制了社会人口学因素、各种生活方式因素、自评健康状况和发病率后，多元线性回归分析显示，过去12个月内跌倒与更高的消极情绪（β = 0.08，p < 0.001）、更低的积极情绪（β = -0.04，p < 0.05）以及更低的生活满意度（β = -0.12，p < 0.001）相关。
本研究强调了跌倒与主观幸福感之间的关系。未来需要进行纵向研究以验证本横断面研究的结果，并更好地理解这种关系的本质。
