To build a social aging scale for healthy people, and get the accuracy and feasibility of the scale to judge the aging of healthy people on the basis of the empirical research. Methods: Stratified random sampling was conducted according to the nine different age groups, and the age-related social function information was collected for healthy people by using the scale, which was made in our own plant; the distribution of the score, the correlations between the score and age or telomere length were analyzed by statistical software. Results: A total of 2 297 subjects were collected for the analysis. The ratio of male to female was 0.8:1. Social function of aging score was in the range of 3.00-12.90; aging score of personal ability was in the range of 1.00-4.45; aging score of social participation was in the range of 1.00-4.52; and aging score of organizational communication was in the range of 1.00-5.00. The correlation coefficient of aging scores with age was 0.696 (P<0.001). The result of telomere length showed that the relative telomere length was 1.056±0.261. The telomere length in different groups were significantly different (F=35.803, P<0.001). The telomere length was negatively correlated with aging (r=-0.964, P<0.001) and social function of aging (r=-0.857, P<0.001), respectively. Conclusion: The scores of age-related social function, personal ability, social participation, and organizational communication are increased with age. The telomere length is negatively correlated to aging score. The scale is applicable to measure social function of aging, which can provide reference for evaluation of the comprehensive of aging.
构建健康人群社会老龄化量表，并在实证研究基础上获取该量表判断健康人群老龄化的准确性和可行性。方法：按照9个不同年龄组进行分层随机抽样，使用自行编制的量表收集健康人群与年龄相关的社会功能信息；采用统计软件分析得分分布情况、得分与年龄或端粒长度的相关性。结果：共收集2297例受试者进行分析，男女比例为0.8∶1。衰老社会功能得分范围为3.00～12.90；个人能力衰老得分范围为1.00～4.45；社会参与衰老得分范围为1.00～4.52；组织沟通衰老得分范围为1.00～5.00。衰老得分与年龄的相关系数为0.696（P<0.001）。端粒长度结果显示，相对端粒长度为1.056±0.261，不同组端粒长度差异有统计学意义（F=35.803，P<0.001），端粒长度分别与衰老（r=-0.964，P<0.001）和衰老社会功能（r=-0.857，P<0.001）呈负相关。结论：与年龄相关的社会功能、个人能力、社会参与及组织沟通得分随年龄增长而增加。端粒长度与衰老得分呈负相关。该量表适用于测量衰老社会功能，可为综合评价衰老提供参考。
