摘要:
目的 探讨农村中老年人认知功能障碍的影响因素,为制定针对性干预策略提供科学依据。 方法 筛选2011―2020年中国健康与养老追踪调查(China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, CHARLS)5轮调查中5 927名农村中老年人为研究对象。采用三水平logistic回归分析模型,分析时间、个体与地区因素对认知功能障碍的影响。 结果 个体层面的影响因素差异为主导,标准差(s)为1.481,同时地区层面也呈现聚集性(s=0.444, P < 0.001)。2018年(OR=3.755, 95% CI: 3.131~4.502)、2020年(OR=1.279, 95% CI: 1.040~1.572)的认知功能障碍高于2011年。男性(OR=0.432, 95% CI: 0.375~0.496)、低龄老年(OR=0.481, 95% CI: 0.431~0.536)、高龄老年(OR=0.252, 95% CI: 0.203~0.312)、参加社交活动(OR=0.597, 95% CI: 0.548~0.650)、全年日照时数(OR=0.809, 95% CI: 0.702~0.933)与认知功能障碍低风险相关;小学教育水平(OR=10.842, 95% CI: 2.119~55.490)、离婚/丧偶/未婚(OR=1.551, 95% CI: 1.333~1.803)、无养老保险(OR=2.126, 95% CI: 1.495~3.025)、无医疗保险(OR=1.528, 95% CI: 1.011~2.310)、不经常与子女交流(OR=1.440, 95% CI: 1.130~1.836)、失眠(OR=1.124, 95% CI: 1.010~1.250)、工具性日常活动能力受损(OR=1.691, 95% CI: 1.531~1.868)、疼痛感(OR=1.179, 95% CI: 1.073~1.296)、抑郁(OR=1.201, 95% CI: 1.099~1.313)与认知功能障碍高风险相关。 结论 农村中老年人认知功能障碍受时间、个体和地区层面因素的多重影响,应从个体层面的健康行为、教育水平和社会保障等因素入手,并结合社区层面的社交活动和心理健康服务,以及政策层面的资源配置进行综合干预。 Abstract:Objective To investigate factors that influence cognitive impairment among middle-aged and elderly adults in rural areas and provide a scientific basis for targeted interventions. Methods A total of 5 927 middle-aged and elderly adults from rural areas were selected from five waves (2011-2020) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A three-level logistic regression model was used to analyze the effects of time, individual characteristics, and regional factors on cognitive impairment. Results Variation at the individual level was the primary contributor, standard deviation (s)=1.481, and regional-level clustering was also observed (s=0.444, P < 0.001). The risk of cognitive impairment in 2018 (OR=3.755, 95% CI: 3.131-4.502) and 2020 (OR=1.279, 95% CI: 1.040-1.572) was higher than in 2011. A lower risk was associated with being male (OR=0.432, 95% CI: 0.375-0.496), younger elderly (OR=0.481, 95% CI: 0.431-0.536), older elderly (OR=0.252, 95% CI: 0.203-0.312), participating in social activities (OR=0.597, 95% CI: 0.548-0.650), and higher annual sunshine duration (OR=0.809, 95% CI: 0.702-0.933). A higher risk was associated with primary education (OR=10.842, 95% CI: 2.119-55.490), being divorced/widowed/unmarried (OR=1.551, 95% CI: 1.333-1.803), lacking pension insurance (OR=2.126, 95% CI: 1.495-3.025), lacking health insurance (OR=1.528, 95% CI: 1.011-2.310), infrequent communication with children (OR=1.440, 95% CI: 1.130-1.836), insomnia (OR=1.124, 95% CI: 1.010-1.250), impaired instrumental activities of daily living (OR=1.691, 95% CI: 1.531-1.868), pain (OR=1.179, 95% CI: 1.073-1.296), and depression (OR=1.201, 95% CI: 1.099-1.313). Conclusions Cognitive impairment among rural middle-aged and elderly adults is influenced by factors at the temporal, individual, and regional levels. Comprehensive interventions should target individual-level determinants such as health behaviors, education, and social security, while also addressing community-level social engagement and mental health services, and policy-level resource allocation. -
