Some epidemiological studies of older American adults have reported a relationship between life-space mobility (LSM) and mortality. However, these studies did not show a dose-response relationship and did not include individuals from other countries. Therefore, we evaluated the dose-response relationship between LSM and mortality in older adults.
Prospective cohort study.
We used the data of 10,014 older Japanese adults (aged ≥65 years) who provided valid responses to the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) in the Kyoto-Kameoka study in Japan.
LSM was evaluated using the self-administered LSA consisting of 5 items regarding life-space from person's bedroom to outside town. The LSM score was calculated by multiplying life-space level by frequency score by independence score, yielding a possible range of 0 (constricted life-space) to 120 (broad life-space). These scores were categorized into quartiles (Qs). Mortality data were collected from July 30, 2011 to November 30, 2016. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model that included baseline covariates were used to evaluate the relationship between LSM score and mortality risk.
A total of 1030 deaths were recorded during the median follow-up period of 5.3 years. We found a negative association between LSM score and overall mortality even after adjusting for confounders [Q1: reference; Q2: hazard ratio (HR) 0.81, 95% CI 0.69-0.95; Q3: HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.59-0.85; Q4: HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55-0.84, P for trend < .001]. Similar results were observed for the spline model; up to a score of 60 points, LSM showed a strong dose-dependent negative association with mortality, but no significant differences were observed thereafter (L-shaped relationship).
Our findings demonstrate an L-shaped relationship between LSM and mortality. This study will be useful in establishing target values for expanding the range of mobility among withdrawn older adults with a constricted life-space.
一些针对美国老年人的流行病学研究报告了生活空间移动性(LSM)与死亡率之间的关系。然而,这些研究并未显示出剂量反应关系,也未包括来自其他国家的个体。因此,我们评估了老年人 LSM 与死亡率之间的剂量反应关系。
前瞻性队列研究。
我们使用了日本京都-龟冈研究中 10014 名年龄在 65 岁及以上、对生活空间评估(LSA)有有效应答的老年人的数据。
使用由 5 个关于从人的卧室到城镇以外的生活空间的项目组成的自我管理 LSA 评估 LSM。LSM 评分通过将生活空间水平乘以频率评分乘以独立性评分计算得出,可能范围为 0(受限生活空间)至 120(广泛生活空间)。这些分数被分为四分之一(Qs)。死亡率数据从 2011 年 7 月 30 日至 2016 年 11 月 30 日收集。使用包含基线协变量的多变量 Cox 比例风险模型评估 LSM 评分与死亡率风险之间的关系。
在中位随访 5.3 年期间,共记录了 1030 例死亡。即使在调整了混杂因素后,我们发现 LSM 评分与全因死亡率之间存在负相关关系[Q1:参考;Q2:危险比(HR)0.81,95%可信区间(CI)0.69-0.95;Q3:HR 0.70,95%CI 0.59-0.85;Q4:HR 0.68,95%CI 0.55-0.84,P 趋势 <0.001]。在样条模型中也观察到了类似的结果;在分数高达 60 分之前,LSM 与死亡率呈强烈的剂量依赖性负相关,但此后没有观察到显著差异(L 型关系)。
我们的研究结果表明 LSM 与死亡率之间存在 L 型关系。本研究将有助于确定扩大活动范围的目标值,以改善活动受限的老年人的生活空间。
