Abstract

To investigate the ageing status for male population aged or over 20 years old in urban communities, clarifying their distribution characteristics and rules, and to provide reference for aging research. Methods: A total of 1 120 men aged or over 20 years old in Nanchang were obtained by stratified sampling, and the aging scale was measured in 9 groups. The distribution characteristics of aging scores were analyzed by normality test, variance analysis, and linear correlation. Results: The total score of aging and the scores of physiological, psychological, and physiological dimensions were 54.01±9.24, 32.33±7.54, 14.66±1.64, and 7.02±1.16, respectively. The scores were positively correlated with age. The total score curve of aging was significantly increased in the 25-<30 and 30-<40, 65-<70 and 70-<75 years old groups. The physiological dimension curve was similar to the total score curve. The psychological dimension curve was more pronounced at 55-<60 and 60-<65 years old groups. The social dimension curve raised slowly and smoothly at all ages. Conclusion: The total score and the scores for all dimensions of male physiological-psycho-sociological increase with age; and changes near the age group of 55-<60 and 60-<65 are obvious, providing reference for the understanding of male aging.

目的:探讨城市社区20岁及以上男性人群衰老状态,阐明其分布特点及规律,为衰老评价及老龄化研究提供参考。方法:通过分层抽样获取1 120名南昌市20岁及以上男性,分9个年龄组进行衰老量表测量;运用正态性检验、方差分析、线性相关等统计学方法分析男性衰老分值的分布特点。结果:男性衰老量表总分为54.01±9.24,生理维度为(32.33±7.54)分,心理维度为(14.66±1.64)分、社会维度为(7.02±1.16)分,衰老分值与年龄呈正相关,在25~<30岁至30~<40岁和65~<70岁至70~<75岁表现出比较明显的曲线上升。不同年龄段各维度得分不同,且各维度得分与年龄均呈正相关。生理维度曲线变化与衰老总分曲线类似,心理在55~<60岁至60~<65岁组的上升曲线相对明显,社会维度的曲线各年龄段处于缓慢平稳上升。结论:男性衰老量表的实证研究表明男性在生理、心理、社会维度衰老分值及总分随年龄增加而上升,且在55~<60岁至60~<65岁表现出较明显的变化,为评估男性衰老状态提供了参考。.
