OBJECTIVE
To identify the current prevalence, and sociodemographic, military, health, and psychosocial correlates of successful aging in older US veterans.
METHODS
Data were analyzed from the 2019-2020 National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study, which surveyed a nationally representative sample of 3,001 US veterans aged greater than or equal to 60 years (mean = 73). Multiple regression and relative importance analyses were conducted to identify key factors associated with successful aging.
RESULTS
A total 79% of older veterans rated themselves as aging successfully. Physical and mental health difficulties emerged as the strongest correlates of successful aging (71% variance explained), while psychosocial factors, most notably perceived resilience, purpose in life, and positive expectations about emotional aging, explained 29% of the variance in this outcome.
CONCLUSIONS
Nearly 4 of 5 US veterans rate themselves as successful agers. Prevention and treatment efforts designed to mitigate physical and mental health difficulties, and promote protective psychosocial factors may help bolster successful aging in this population.
目的
确定美国老年退伍军人成功老龄化的当前流行率，以及社会人口统计学、军事、健康和心理社会相关因素。
方法
对 2019-2020 年全国退伍军人健康和复原力研究的数据进行了分析，该研究调查了 3001 名年龄大于或等于 60 岁的美国退伍军人（平均年龄为 73 岁）。进行了多元回归和相对重要性分析，以确定与成功老龄化相关的关键因素。
结果
共有 79%的老年退伍军人认为自己成功老龄化。身体和心理健康困难是成功老龄化的最强相关因素（解释了 71%的差异），而心理社会因素，尤其是感知复原力、生活目标和对情绪老龄化的积极期望，解释了这一结果差异的 29%。
结论
近 4/5 的美国退伍军人认为自己是成功的老龄化者。旨在减轻身体和心理健康困难以及促进保护性心理社会因素的预防和治疗措施可能有助于增强这一人群的成功老龄化。
