Numerous researchers have pointed to the centrality of health in personal adaptation in the later years. This investigation examines morale in regard to 16 health indicators. Probability techniques were used to draw a sample of 104 noninstitutionalized people, 65 years of age and older. Product-moment correlations indicated a substantial relatedness among the the health indicators. A principal components factor analysis generated five health dimensions: Assessing and Promoting Own Health, Health Behavior and Facilities, Disease and Its Control, Sensory Abilities, and Source of Care. Morale was bivariately related most to the individual measures of fatigue, comparative health level, visual acuity, and general self-rated health. A multiple regression analysis indicated that morale was reported to be higher among those who felt more rested upon wakening in the morning, who had better visual abilities, and who saw their health level as being at least as good as in the past.
众多研究人员指出，健康在晚年个人适应过程中具有核心地位。本调查针对16项健康指标研究了士气情况。采用概率技术抽取了104名65岁及以上的非机构化人员作为样本。积差相关显示健康指标之间存在显著相关性。主成分因子分析产生了五个健康维度：自我健康评估与促进、健康行为与设施、疾病及其控制、感官能力以及医疗护理来源。士气与疲劳、相对健康水平、视力和总体自我健康评价等个体指标的双变量相关性最强。多元回归分析表明，据报告，那些早晨醒来感觉更精神、视力更好且认为自己的健康水平至少与过去一样好的人，士气更高。
