This study compares the associations of two subjective lifetime perspectives, subjective age (SA) and subjective life expectancy (SLE), with physical performance, self-rated health, and depressive symptoms. 64 91-year-old participants were selected from three waves of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (2008/09, 2011/12, 2015/16; = 1822 participants, = 3500 observations) that included graphical and numerical measures of SA and SLE. We used generalized estimating equations to examine their associations with health. Associations of SA/SLE with health were weaker for physical performance than for self-rated health and depressive symptoms. The associations of SA and SLE with physical performance were of similar magnitude but with self-rated health depended on the type of measure. Depressive symptoms, instead, showed a stronger association with SA than with SLE. Graphical measures showed weaker associations than numerical measures. The way in which subjective lifetime perspectives and health are conceptualized and measured influences the strength of their associations.
本研究比较了两种主观人生视角（主观年龄和主观预期寿命）与身体表现、自我评估健康状况和抑郁症状的关联。从阿姆斯特丹纵向老龄化研究的三个波次（2008/09、2011/12、2015/16）中选取了 64 名 91 岁的参与者，共包括主观年龄和主观预期寿命的图形和数值测量。我们使用广义估计方程来检验它们与健康的关联。与自我评估健康状况和抑郁症状相比，主观年龄和主观预期寿命与身体表现的关联较弱。主观年龄和主观预期寿命与身体表现的关联强度相当，但与自我评估健康状况的关联取决于测量的类型。相反，抑郁症状与主观年龄的关联强于与主观预期寿命的关联。图形测量比数值测量显示出较弱的关联。主观人生视角和健康的概念化和测量方式会影响它们关联的强度。
