Comparative analysis of physical fitness of 60-69 years old people in Anhui Province in different years
Objective To understand the physical fitness difference of the elderly aged 60-69 years old between 2014 and 2020 in Anhui Province,to provide basic data and theoretical basis for physical fitness control and prevention.Methods A total of 6 168 and 5 462 elderly adults were selected from 16 cities in Anhui Province in 2014 and 2020 by multi-stage sampling method,respectively.A questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted in community health service centers according to the national physical fitness monitoring.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to compared the change between 2014 and 2020 after controling confounding factors.Results The physical form,physical function and physical fitness indices of the elderly people aged 60-69 years old in Anhui province were different in various group including gender,age group,regional distribution and urban-rural area(all P＜0.05).The results of multiple linear regression showed that,compared to 2014,the grip strength of the elderly adults in Anhui Province decreased(β ＝-0.677,95％CI:-0.946--0.411),while height(β=1.278,95％CI:1.053-1.504),weight(β=2.012,95％CI:1.697-2.354),BMI(β=0.416,95％CI:0.295-0.538),waist circumference(β=2.529,95％CI:2.172-2.885),hip circumference(β=1.147,95％CI:0.856-1.438),waist-to-hip ratio(β=0.016,95％CI:0.014-0.019),body fat percentage(β=0.423,95％CI:0.301-0.545),duration of one-leg standing with eyes closed(β=0.157,95％CI:0.147-0.168)and choice reaction time(β=0.031,95％CI:0.020-0.042)increased significantly in 2020(all P＜0.001).Conclusions The increasing prevalence of obesity,impaired nerve conduction velocity,and diminished reaction capacity among the elderly population in Anhui Province is becoming a serious concern.Targeted diet and physical exercise guidance should be carried out to reduce obesity and improve comprehensive physical fitness of the elderly.
