本研究旨在探討長照C據點長者身體組成與活躍老化之關係,採立意取樣方式,針對臺中市新社區東興社區及烏日區溪霸社區二機構內91名長照社區長者為研究對象。以身體組成分析儀及自覺身心健康狀況量表進行二據點長者身體機能及活躍老化之評估,所得資料再進行相關性分析、差異性分析及ROC曲線等統計方法。本研究的結果如下:身體組成中總水量、蛋白質、骨骼肌肉及InBody綜合分數等指標與自覺身心健康狀況量表之生理構面達顯著水準(p < 0.05)。而Inbody綜合分數可適合做為評估活躍老化之重要指標,其臨界值為71分,意旨Inbody綜合分數達71分者可視為整體面達到活躍老化程度。本研究之主要貢獻除可應用在實務上,透過簡易身體組成的相關指標分析,了解長者目前活躍老化之情形,進而掌握其身體機能狀況外,亦可提供臺中市新社區東興社區及烏日區溪霸社區兩個C據點做為課程調整與飲食規劃之參考,並協助C據點向前延伸強化社區初級預防功能,延緩長者老化速度,進而達成活躍老化之目的。
The subject of this study aims to explore the relationship between the body composition and active aging of elderlies in the long-term care(LTC) of stronghold C (also called LTC stations around the blocks). With a conceptual sampling method, focusing on 91 elderlies from two long-term care communities of Dongxing Vil., Xinshe Dist., and Xiba Vil., Wuri Dist., Taichung City. Using the body composition analyzer and the self-conscious physical and mental health status scale to evaluate both physical function and active aging of the elderly. The data will then be subjected to statistical methods such as correlation analysis, difference analysis, and ROC curve. The results of this study are as following items: the total water, protein, skeletal muscle, and InBody composite scores in body composition and the physiological aspects of the Conscious Physical and Mental Health Scale reached significant levels (p <0.05). What’s more, the Inbody composite score can be used as an important indicator for assessing active aging. Its critical value is 71 points, which means that the Inbody composite score of 71 points can be regarded as an overall level of active aging. The main contribution of this research can be applied in practice. Through the analysis of relevant indicators of simple body composition to understand the current active aging situation of elderlies, and then grasp their physical function status. It can also provide the two strongholds of Dongxing Vil., Xinshe Dist., and Xiba Vil., Wuri Dist., Taichung City some references for curriculum adjustment and diet planning, and assist stronghold C to extend forward and to strengthen the primary prevention function of the community, delay the speed of aging of the elderly, and achieve the purpose of active aging.
