This study describes a multidimensional measure of successful aging (SA) and examines the relationship with chronic disease status and self-reported health. Using data from the 2015 Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey of 1568 Filipino women, we created a four domain measure of SA (physiological, mental health, cognitive, sociological). We explored age-stratified associations of each domain and total SA with various health behaviors, chronic disease status, and correlations with self-reported health measures. Both age groups reported aging well, but younger women had higher mean SA scores. Association patterns between domain and total SA and sociodemographic and health behaviors were similar across age groups. Physiological score was associated with hypertension for all ages, and with diabetes in younger women. Total SA was moderately correlated with self-reported health measures. Participants reported aging successfully despite chronic disease status. Future studies should use a multidimensional definition of SA which incorporates elders' perspective.
本研究描述了一种成功老龄化（SA）的多维测量方法，并检验了其与慢性病状况及自我报告健康状况之间的关系。利用2015年宿务纵向健康与营养调查中1568名菲律宾女性的数据，我们创建了一个成功老龄化的四维度测量方法（生理、心理健康、认知、社会学）。我们探讨了每个维度和总体成功老龄化与各种健康行为、慢性病状况的年龄分层关联，以及与自我报告健康指标的相关性。两个年龄组都报告老龄化状况良好，但年轻女性的成功老龄化平均得分更高。各年龄组在维度与总体成功老龄化以及社会人口学和健康行为之间的关联模式相似。生理得分在所有年龄段都与高血压相关，在年轻女性中与糖尿病相关。总体成功老龄化与自我报告健康指标中度相关。尽管存在慢性病状况，参与者仍报告成功老龄化。未来的研究应采用包含老年人观点的成功老龄化多维定义。
