This study aims to determine the prevalence of successful aging (SA) and examine the association of changes in the indicators of SA and variations in SA status between 2016 and 2020. The study included 548 participants recruited for the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS). Compared to participants who achieved SA in 2016 (N = 393, 71.7%), the number of older adults with SA decreased by 7.8% in 2020. Among older adults preserving SA (SA→SA group, 54%), there were relatively small numbers of older adults who successfully maintained indicators, including chronic diseases (no→no, 9.5%), employment (yes→yes, 12.2%), and volunteer activities (yes→yes, 2.9%). Our findings suggest that interventions to strengthen the physical and psychological function of older adults are needed, and social support needs to be guaranteed to improve social engagement for older adults.
本研究旨在确定成功老龄化（SA）的流行率，并探讨 2016 年至 2020 年间 SA 指标变化与 SA 状态变化之间的关系。该研究纳入了韩国衰弱与老龄化队列研究（KFACS）招募的 548 名参与者。与 2016 年达到 SA 的参与者（N=393，71.7%）相比，2020 年 SA 老年人的数量减少了 7.8%。在保持 SA 的老年人中（SA→SA 组，54%），成功维持指标的老年人相对较少，包括慢性病（无→无，9.5%）、就业（是→是，12.2%）和志愿者活动（是→是，2.9%）。我们的研究结果表明，需要加强老年人的身体和心理健康干预措施，并需要保障社会支持，以提高老年人的社会参与度。
