We investigate global differences in psychosocial well-being between older adult age groups.
Using multinomial logistic regression, we analyzed 2018 data ( = 93,663) from 9 countries/regions in the Health and Retirement Study international family of studies to compare age group differences in depression, loneliness, and happiness.
Compared to the young old, the old-old reported more depression in Southern Europe, while the oldest old had higher risk in India and Southern Europe but lower risk in the United States. The old-old reported less loneliness in the United States but more in Southern Europe, while the oldest old had greater risk in Southern Europe. The old-old reported less happiness in Korea, while the oldest old had lower reports in Korea but higher reports in the United States.
The psychosocial well-being of the oldest old is exceptionally good in the United States but exceptionally poor in Southern Europe.
我们调查了老年年龄组之间心理社会幸福感的全球差异。
我们使用多项逻辑回归分析了来自健康与退休研究国际研究系列中9个国家/地区的2018年数据(n = 93,663),以比较年龄组在抑郁、孤独和幸福方面的差异。
与年轻老年人相比,在南欧,年老老年人报告的抑郁更多,而在印度和南欧,最年长老年人的风险更高,但在美国风险较低。年老老年人在美国报告的孤独感较少,但在南欧较多,而最年长老年人在南欧的风险更大。年老老年人在韩国报告的幸福感较低,而最年长老年人在韩国的报告较低,但在美国的报告较高。
最年长老年人的心理社会幸福感在美国异常良好,但在南欧异常糟糕。
