Research of the current state of debility syndrome and influencing factors in elderly people in the community
Objective:To understand the current state of debility among the community elderly population in Hi-tech Community of Jinshan District,Shanghai,and analyze the influencing factors for providing a basis for screening and intervention.Methods:A total of 2 010 elderly people aged 65 and above in the community who met the survey requirements and voluntarily accepted the survey were selected.The sex ratio of male and female was 1∶1.15,among them,65-69 years old accounted for 38.51%,70-74 years old accounted for 28.26%,75~79 years old accounted for 20.75%,and 80 years old and above accounted for 12.49% .Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the occurrence of debility in the elderly population in the community.Results:The debilitating prevalence rate of community residents was 12.19% .The prevalence of debility in the elderly increased with age(P<0.05),and low density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol level in male debility patients and female pre debility patients were high,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Hypertension(86.12% ),stroke(75.51% )and respiratory diseases(43.67% )were higher in the debility population.Except for malignant tumors,other complication diseases were high in the debility or pre debility patients,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Logistic analysis found that age group,hyperglycemia or diabetes were the influencing factors of debility.Conclusion:The prevalence of debility among the elderly in the community is high,and age,diabetes and other factors are the main risk factors,in the community the screening of debility should be strengthened among the elderly to control adverse risk factors,and intervene as soon as possible to maintain the function of the elderly and improve the quality of life.
