The purpose of this study was to describe the health promotion activities of older adults in a life care community. A total of 195 older adults participated in a health promotion survey. The old and old-old age groups demonstrated a decrease in cancer screening behaviors, aerobic exercise, and compliance with a low cholesterol diet. Moreover, these individuals indicated that they had lived a sufficient period of time, and were no longer interested in disease prevention and prolongation of life. Older adults may benefit from an individualized approach to health promotion that focuses on quality rather than quantity of life.
本研究的目的是描述生活护理社区中老年人的健康促进活动。共有195名老年人参与了一项健康促进调查。年龄较大和高龄组的癌症筛查行为、有氧运动以及低胆固醇饮食依从性均有所下降。此外,这些个体表示他们已经活了足够长的时间,对疾病预防和延长寿命不再感兴趣。老年人可能会从注重生活质量而非数量的个性化健康促进方法中受益。
