Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the activities of daily living (ADL) and related factors in community elderly people in urban and rural areas of Beijing. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Haidian and Miyun districts of Beijing using two-stage random cluster sampling method between 2011 and 2014. Results: A total of 4 499 community elderly people (1 815 males, 2 684 females) aged 60-95 years were included in the study. The mean age was (70.3±6.7) years. Compared with the participants from urban area, the participants from rural area had lower education level (85.2% had education level primary school), but higher level of smoking (22.8%) and drinking (43.1%). The ADL disability rate was higher in rural area than in urban area (12.4% vs. 11.8%, P=0.039). And it increased significantly with age (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed besides urban-rural difference (P=0.031), age (P=0.013), education level (P=0.015), physical activity (P=0.001) and stroke (P<0.001) were related factors influencing ADL disability. Conclusions: The ADL disability was relatively low in the community elderly people in Beijing, and there was significant difference between rural area and urban area. Older age, lower education level and physical inactivity and stroke were related factors.
