摘要: 目的 探讨我国老年人躯体健康状况与老年虐待之间的关系,为采取干预措施预防、解决老年虐待提供依据。方法 研究对象为全国妇联、国家统计局2010年实施的“第三期中国妇女社会地位调查”数据中9 057名年龄为65岁以上的老年人;调查内容包括一般特征、躯体健康状况以及老年虐待状况等。采用Pearson检验、χ2检验、多元Logistic回归进行统计分析。结果 老年虐待发生率为6.39%。躯体健康状况与老年虐待之间存在正相关关系(rs=0.064,P<0.001),老年人躯体健康状况越差,遭受老年虐待的风险越高。控制混杂因素的影响后,与健康老年人相比,罹患一种、两种疾病的老年人受虐风险更高,OR值分别为1.59(95% CI:1.19~2.12)、2.10(95% CI:1.61~2.71)。结论 我国老年虐待状况堪忧,老年人躯体健康状况与老年虐待之间存在正相关,躯体健康状况越差的老年人越容易遭受虐待。Abstract: Objective To examine the association between physical health and abuse among elders in China, and to provide evidence for prevention and control of elder abuse. Methods Based on the third survey on the Status of Chinese women organized by the All-China Women's Federation and the National Bureau of Statistics, 9 057 subjects aged 65 and older were included in the current study. Their general information, including physical health condition and elder abuse were collected during the survey. Pearson test, Chi-square test and multiple Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results The prevalence of elder abuse was 6.39%. Elder physical health condition was positively correlated with elder abuse (rs=0.064,P<0.001). The worse physical condition they were in, the higher risk of being abused they would face. After adjusting potential confounding factors, the odds ratios of elder abuse were 1.59(95% CI: 1.19-2.12) and 2.10(95% CI: 1.61-2.71) among elder people with one disease and two diseases, respectively. Conclusions High prevalence of elder abuse was observed in China. Elder people's physical conditions were positively correlated with the risk of being abused by other family members.
