Past research has highlighted the association of family longevity, support, functioning, and health and well-being factors in predicting longevity. Based on the Georgia Adaptation Model that examined the impact of clusters of bio-psycho-social predictors on extreme longevity and adaptation, the current study aimed to employ 7 clusters of behavioral and social predictors on longevity of Japanese-American men from Hawaii.
A sample of 3 734 men (Mage = 77.82 years) from the Kuakini Honolulu Heart Program was included in this research. We focused on 3 research questions. One, WHO survived to their 70s, 80s, 90s, and 100s? Two, WHAT behavioral and social predictors were found to predict survivors of the different ages? Three, are the survival predictors the same or different for the Japanese-American men compared to extant findings in the literature?
Our results demonstrated 4 distinct groups of survivors (70s, 80s, 90s, and 100+) and highlighted differentiating characteristics among groups. Moreover, regression analyses suggested that cognition, activity of daily living functioning, health behaviors, diabetes, and father's age at death were significantly associated with longevity. Finally, survival characteristics found among the Japanese-American men replicated many findings reported in the literature.
The results indicate that there are individual differences for survivors in the Kuakini Honolulu Study, as this sample reaches 70, 80, 90, or 100 years of life.
过去的研究强调了家庭长寿、支持、功能以及健康和幸福因素在预测长寿方面的关联。基于研究生物心理社会预测因素集群对极端长寿和适应能力影响的佐治亚适应模型，本研究旨在运用7个行为和社会预测因素集群来研究夏威夷日裔美国男性的长寿情况。
本研究纳入了来自库阿基尼檀香山心脏项目的3734名男性样本（平均年龄 = 77.82岁）。我们聚焦于3个研究问题。其一，哪些人活到了70多岁、80多岁、90多岁和100多岁？其二，哪些行为和社会预测因素能够预测不同年龄段的幸存者？其三，与文献中已有的研究结果相比，日裔美国男性的生存预测因素是相同还是不同？
我们的研究结果显示出4个不同的幸存者群体（70多岁、80多岁、90多岁和100岁以上），并突出了各群体之间的差异特征。此外，回归分析表明认知、日常生活功能活动、健康行为、糖尿病以及父亲的死亡年龄与长寿显著相关。最后，在日裔美国男性中发现的生存特征重复了文献中报道的许多研究结果。
结果表明，在库阿基尼檀香山研究中，幸存者存在个体差异，因为该样本达到了70岁、80岁、90岁或100岁。
