The study is cross-sectional in nature and aims to investigate the relationship of the frequency of socialization (FOS) to the daily life, social life, and physical function of community-dwelling adults aged 60 and over after the COVID-19 outbreak. A self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted on 3000 members of CO-OP Kagoshima, out of which 342 responses were received. Bivariate statistics was conducted followed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Questions with significant differences were set as independent variables, whereas the FOS was set as the dependent variable. Results indicate significant group differences between the decreased and increased/unchanged groups. After adjusting for potential covariates, multiple logistic regression analysis revealed decreases in the frequencies of cooking (OR: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.01-0.69; = 0.02), shopping (OR: 18.76; 95% CI: 7.12-49.41; < 0.01), and eating out (OR: 3.47; 95% CI: 1.21-9.97; = 0.02), which were significantly associated with decreased FOS. The finding may inform policy making in identifying priorities for support in daily life for community-dwelling adults over the age of 60 undergoing social distancing.
本研究为横断面研究，旨在调查 COVID-19 大流行后，社交频率（FOS）与 60 岁及以上社区居住成年人日常生活、社交生活和身体功能的关系。对 CO-OP Kagoshima 的 3000 名成员进行了自我报告问卷调查，共收到 342 份回复。进行了双变量统计分析，随后进行了多变量逻辑回归分析。将具有显著差异的问题设置为自变量，而 FOS 设置为因变量。结果表明，减少和增加/不变组之间存在显著的组间差异。在调整潜在协变量后，多变量逻辑回归分析显示，烹饪频率（OR：0.07；95%CI：0.01-0.69； = 0.02）、购物频率（OR：18.76；95%CI：7.12-49.41； < 0.01）和外出就餐频率（OR：3.47；95%CI：1.21-9.97； = 0.02）显著降低，这与 FOS 降低显著相关。这一发现可能为制定政策提供信息，以确定对正在进行社交隔离的 60 岁以上社区居住成年人日常生活的支持重点。
