Audiovisual difficulty are especially common in older adults. Audiovisual difficulty seriously affect the quality of life of older adults in their later years. It is a top priority to find out the related factors, and to intervene and prevent them. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between recreational physical activities and audiovisual difficulty in older adults. We hope that older adults can reduce the risk of hearing and visual difficulty through scientific physical activity. A total of 4,886 people were sampled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2018. Recreational physical activity was assessed through the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ); Hearing and visual difficulty were assessed using the Disability Questionnaire (DLQ). Chi-square test was used for categorical variables and rank sum test was used for measurement variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant (bilateral test). After univariate analysis, binary Logistic regression analysis was performed with recreational physical activity as the independent variable, statistically significant demographic variable as the covariate, and hearing and visual difficulty as the dependent variable, respectively. (1) After excluding all confounding variables, recreational physical activity was significantly associated with hearing difficulty (P < 0.001), odds ratio (OR) 0.657 (95% CI 0.5899-0.733); (2) Recreational physical activity was significantly associated with visual difficulty (P < 0.001), OR 0.731 (95% CI 0.630-0.849). (1) Recreational physical activity is the protective factor of hearing difficulty in older adults; (2) Recreational physical activity is a protective factor for visual difficulty in older adults.
视听困难在老年人中尤为常见。视听困难严重影响老年人晚年的生活质量。找出相关因素并进行干预和预防是当务之急。本研究旨在探讨老年人休闲体育活动与视听困难的关系。我们希望老年人能够通过科学的体育活动降低听力和视力困难的风险。本研究共抽取了 2013 年至 2018 年全国健康与营养调查（NHANES）中的 4886 人作为样本。休闲体育活动通过全球体力活动问卷（GPAQ）进行评估；听力和视力困难通过残疾问卷（DLQ）进行评估。分类变量采用卡方检验，计量变量采用秩和检验。P<0.05 为差异有统计学意义（双侧检验）。单因素分析后，将休闲体育活动作为自变量，有统计学意义的人口统计学变量作为协变量，听力和视力困难分别作为因变量进行二元 Logistic 回归分析。（1）排除所有混杂变量后，休闲体育活动与听力困难显著相关（P<0.001），比值比（OR）为 0.657（95%CI：0.5899-0.733）；（2）休闲体育活动与视觉困难显著相关（P<0.001），OR 为 0.731（95%CI：0.630-0.849）。（1）休闲体育活动是老年人听力困难的保护因素；（2）休闲体育活动是老年人视力困难的保护因素。
