BACKGROUND
The present study explored the relationship between hearing ability, self-rated health, life satisfaction, and depression among retired middle-aged and older adults in China.
METHODS
The research was based on data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). By applying linear regression models, we delved into the key factors influencing depression in middle-aged and elderly individuals. We utilized Spearman's rank correlation analysis techniques to reveal the interconnections among hearing ability, depression, self-rated health status, and life satisfaction. Additionally, we employed SPSS software tools to examine the potential mediating effects of self-rated health status and life satisfaction between hearing ability and depression.
RESULT
There was a significant positive correlation between hearing ability and self-rated health status as well as life satisfaction ( r > 0, P < 0.01), while a significant negative correlation with depression was observed ( r < 0, P < 0.01). Self-rated health status also showed a positive correlation with life satisfaction ( r > 0, P < 0.01) and a negative correlation with depression ( r < 0, P < 0.01). Furthermore, life satisfaction exhibited a negative correlation with depression ( r < 0, P < 0.01). Further analysis revealed that self-rated health status and life satisfaction play a significant chain mediating role between hearing ability and depression.
CONCLUSION
In summary, our investigation underscores the pivotal mediating influence of self-rated health and life satisfaction in the nexus between hearing ability and depressive symptoms in retired middle-aged and older adults. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between hearing and depression, providing valuable insights for alleviating depression in middle-aged and older adults.
背景
本研究探讨了中国退休中老年人的听力、自评健康状况、生活满意度与抑郁之间的关系。
方法
本研究基于2018年中国健康与养老追踪调查（CHARLS）的数据。通过应用线性回归模型，我们深入研究了影响中老年人抑郁的关键因素。我们利用Spearman等级相关分析技术揭示听力、抑郁、自评健康状况和生活满意度之间的相互关系。此外，我们使用SPSS软件工具来检验自评健康状况和生活满意度在听力与抑郁之间的潜在中介作用。
结果
听力与自评健康状况以及生活满意度之间存在显著正相关（r＞0，P＜0.01），而与抑郁存在显著负相关（r＜0，P＜0.01）。自评健康状况与生活满意度也呈正相关（r＞0，P＜0.01），与抑郁呈负相关（r＜0，P＜0.01）。此外，生活满意度与抑郁呈负相关（r＜0，P＜0.01）。进一步分析表明，自评健康状况和生活满意度在听力与抑郁之间起显著的链式中介作用。
结论
总之，我们的调查强调了自评健康和生活满意度在退休中老年人听力与抑郁症状之间的关键中介作用。本研究结果有助于更深入地理解听力与抑郁之间的关系，为缓解中老年人抑郁提供有价值的见解。
