There is a lack of research on Korean prospective elderly persons. In particular, there is little research regarding whether social support has a mediating effect on the relationship between physical activity and aging anxiety. Accordingly, this study investigated how social support affected physical activity and aging anxiety in 778 prospective senior citizens (55 to 65 years old) out of a total of 1447 senior citizens who participated in the Embrain Panel Power and Panel Marketing Interactive. Participants completed the IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaires), Social Support Scale, and Aging Anxiety Scale. Physical activity in these Korean pre-older adults affected aging anxiety ( < 0.001), with a fixed effect of physical activity on social support ( < 0.001). Further, social support affected aging anxiety ( < 0.001). Social support was also an important parameter in the relationship between physical activity and aging anxiety. In conclusion, high physical activity of pre-older Korean persons lowered their anxiety regarding aging. Social support acted as a mediator that lowered anxiety regarding aging in the most active pre-older persons.
针对韩国准老年人的研究相对较少。特别是,关于社会支持是否对体力活动与衰老焦虑之间的关系具有中介作用的研究较少。因此,本研究调查了社会支持如何影响总共 1447 名参加了 Embrain 小组力量和小组营销互动的老年人中的 778 名准老年人(55 至 65 岁)的体力活动和衰老焦虑。参与者完成了 IPAQ(国际体力活动问卷)、社会支持量表和衰老焦虑量表。这些韩国准老年人的体力活动影响了衰老焦虑(<0.001),体力活动对社会支持的固定效应(<0.001)。此外,社会支持也影响了衰老焦虑(<0.001)。社会支持也是体力活动与衰老焦虑之间关系的重要参数。总之,韩国准老年人的高体力活动降低了他们对衰老的焦虑。社会支持是最活跃的准老年人中降低衰老焦虑的中介因素。
