The aim of this study was to determine the diabetes burden in elderly individuals along with successful ageing, which defines how well individual ages contribute to coping with the disease and diabetes management. This study also aimed to evaluate the relationship between diabetes burden and successful ageing in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes.
The data for this descriptive study were collected from 526 individuals who were 65 years old patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the diabetes polyclinic of a research and training hospital between January and June 2021.
It was found that the Successful Ageing Scale score was higher in women, those who had regular diabetes control, and those who had easy access to health services. Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale scores were found to be higher in men, those whose diabetes treatment was insulin, and those with poor perceived health status. No statistically significant relationship was determined between the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale total score and the Successful Ageing Scale total score (p>0.05).
Accordingly, by enabling the elderly to have easy access to healthcare services, preventing complications, and providing elderly healthcare services, it will be possible to reduce the diabetes burden in the elderly and enable them to age successfully.
本研究旨在确定老年个体的糖尿病负担以及成功老龄化，这定义了个体年龄对应对疾病和糖尿病管理的贡献程度。本研究还旨在评估 2 型糖尿病老年个体中糖尿病负担与成功老龄化之间的关系。
本描述性研究的数据来自于 2021 年 1 月至 6 月期间在一家研究和培训医院的糖尿病门诊被诊断为 2 型糖尿病的 526 名 65 岁患者。
研究发现，女性、定期进行糖尿病控制以及更容易获得医疗服务的患者的成功老龄化量表评分较高。男性、胰岛素治疗的患者以及自我感知健康状况较差的患者的老年糖尿病负担量表评分较高。老年糖尿病负担量表总分与成功老龄化量表总分之间未确定有统计学意义的关系（p>0.05）。
因此，通过使老年人更容易获得医疗保健服务、预防并发症以及提供老年医疗保健服务，将有可能减轻老年糖尿病患者的糖尿病负担并使他们成功老龄化。
