To identify the relationships between physical activity, quality of life and successful ageing among community-dwelling older adults in South Korea.
With increasing numbers of financially stable and active older adults, it has become imperative to understand successful ageing to promote well-being in this population.
Questionnaire data were collected from senior welfare centres from August to November 2013. Participants were adults aged 65 years or older living in urban areas. Participants were asked to complete self-report questionnaires assessing physical activity, quality of life and successful ageing. Data from 212 participants were analysed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVAs with Scheffe tests and ordinary least square and quantile regression models using STATA 12.0.
In the ordinary least square model, the association between physical activity and successful ageing was not statistically significant, whereas quantile regression revealed significant associations within the 75th and 90th percentiles of successful ageing scores. Quality of life was significantly associated with successful ageing in the ordinary least square model and with the median and 75th percentiles of successful ageing in quantile regressions.
Results suggested that physical activity and quality of life were both in part significantly associated with successful ageing among Korean older adults.
Physical activity and quality of life play an important role in enhancing successful ageing. The development of an effective exercise programme advertised towards community-dwelling older adults may be essential for maintaining their successful ageing.
在韩国的社区居住的老年人中，确定身体活动、生活质量和成功老龄化之间的关系。
随着越来越多的经济稳定和活跃的老年人，了解成功老龄化以促进这一人群的幸福感变得至关重要。
2013 年 8 月至 11 月，从老年人福利中心收集了问卷调查数据。参与者是居住在城市地区的 65 岁或以上的成年人。参与者被要求完成自我报告问卷，评估身体活动、生活质量和成功老龄化。使用 STATA 12.0 采用描述性统计、独立 t 检验、方差分析与谢菲检验和普通最小二乘法和分位数回归模型对 212 名参与者的数据进行了分析。
在普通最小二乘法模型中，身体活动与成功老龄化之间的关联没有统计学意义，而分位数回归则揭示了成功老龄化得分的第 75 百分位和第 90 百分位之间存在显著关联。生活质量在普通最小二乘法模型中与成功老龄化显著相关，在分位数回归中与成功老龄化的中位数和第 75 百分位相关。
结果表明，身体活动和生活质量在一定程度上与韩国老年人的成功老龄化有关。
身体活动和生活质量在增强成功老龄化方面起着重要作用。为了维持他们的成功老龄化，为居住在社区的老年人制定一项有效的锻炼计划可能是必要的。
