This study investigated the relationship between social activities and frailty during the restriction on outings due to COVID-19.
A cross-sectional study.
This study was conducted in City Nishinomiya of Prefecture Hyogo, in Japan. A mail survey was carried out among women aged 65 years or older in May 2020. A population of 293 women aged 65 years or older living in the community was recruited for the study and 213 of them were analyzed.
The survey included questions on sex, age, height, weight, and social activity. Social activity consisted of participation in social organizations and their frequency, as well as frequency of interaction with family and friends. The survey also asked if regular social activity had been impeded by COVID-19.
A significant association was found between frailty and hindered interaction with friends (β: 0.176, = .014). Multivariate linear regression analysis confirmed that this association was also significant in Model 1 (β: 0.158, = .025), and Model 2 (β: 0.148, = .034).
No association between being hindered in social activity and frailty was found in older women living in the community during the restriction on outings due to COVID-19.
本研究调查了在因2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）而限制外出期间社交活动与虚弱之间的关系。
一项横断面研究。
本研究在日本兵库县西宫市进行。2020年5月对65岁及以上女性进行了邮件调查。招募了293名居住在社区的65岁及以上女性参与研究，其中213人进行了分析。
调查包括关于性别、年龄、身高、体重和社交活动的问题。社交活动包括参与社会组织及其频率，以及与家人和朋友互动的频率。调查还询问了常规社交活动是否受到COVID-19的阻碍。
发现虚弱与与朋友互动受阻之间存在显著关联（β：0.176，P = 0.014）。多元线性回归分析证实，这种关联在模型1（β：0.158，P = 0.025）和模型2（β：0.148，P = 0.034）中也具有显著性。
在因COVID-19而限制外出期间，未发现社区老年女性的社交活动受阻与虚弱之间存在关联。
