Abstract

OBJECTIVES

This study examined the social factors affecting the frequency of going out, and social isolation related to the frequency of daily conversation, stratified by gender.

METHOD

The participants comprised 1,016 community-dwelling older Japanese adults, who were categorized into four groups: those who are (1) not isolated socially and go out every day, (2) not isolated socially and do not go out every day, (3) socially isolated and go out every day, and (4) socially isolated and do not go out every day. We performed a logistic regression analysis to assess the relationship between the frequency of daily conversation and the four groups.

RESULTS

Our multivariable logistic regression analysis (reference, group 1) showed that the coexistence of poor social factors significantly affected men (group 2: odds ratio [OR] 2.13 [1.10 to 4.12]; group 3: OR 2.92 [1.70 to 5.00]; and group 4: OR 4.28 [2.43 to 7.54]). For women, the frequency of going out was related to daily conversation only with social isolation group (group 2: OR 1.51 [0.77 to 2.98]; group 3: OR 2.42 [1.25 to 4.68]; and group 4: OR 3.81 [2.08 to 7.00]).

CONCLUSION

Our findings suggest that promoting daily conversations of community-dwelling older adults can help prevent related health adversities.

摘要

目的

本研究按性别分层，考察了影响外出频率的社会因素以及与日常交谈频率相关的社会隔离情况。

方法

研究对象为1016名居住在社区的日本老年人，他们被分为四组：（1）非社会隔离且每天外出；（2）非社会隔离且并非每天外出；（3）社会隔离且每天外出；（4）社会隔离且并非每天外出。我们进行了逻辑回归分析，以评估日常交谈频率与这四组之间的关系。

结果

我们的多变量逻辑回归分析（参照组为第1组）显示，不良社会因素的共存对男性有显著影响（第2组：比值比[OR]为2.13[1.10至4.12]；第3组：OR为2.92[1.70至5.00]；第4组：OR为4.28[2.43至7.54]）。对于女性而言，外出频率仅与社会隔离组的日常交谈有关（第2组：OR为1.51[0.77至2.98]；第3组：OR为2.42[1.25至4.68]；第4组：OR为3.81[2.08至7.00]）。
