Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the sedentary behavior of the elderly in Taiyuan nursing homes and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide theoretical basis for the construction of targeted intervention programs for sedentary behavior.Methods:A total of 215 elderly people in 6 nursing homes in Taiyuan from October 2019 to January 2020 were investigated by general data questionnaire and sedentary behavior questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, single factor analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of sedentary behavior.Results:The sedentary time of the elderly in Taiyuan nursing homes was (8.85±2.81) h/d, and 83% (174/209) of the elderly had a sedentary time≥6 h/d. Gender, age, type of disease, type of residence, sedentary hobby and environmental safety in homes were the important factors influencing sedentary behavior of the elderly in nursing homes( P<0.05). Conclusions:The sedentary behavior of the elderly in nursing homes is not optimistic. Targeted intervention measures should be taken to improve the sedentary behavior of the elderly and promote the healthy aging of the elderly in nursing homes.
