Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation between elderly education and health status of elderly people in urban and rural areas.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from Jul 2024 to Dec 2024 involving 200 elderly people aged 60 and above in Shenyang.Among them,62 participated in elderly education and 138 did not.The psychological and health status of the two groups were evaluated using the Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS),Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale,Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale,and a self-designed questionnaire on health status.Results:There were statistically significant differences in age,years of education,occupation(before retirement),living conditions,and residential location between the two groups(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in life satisfaction,delayed recall ability,and occurrence of physical limitations between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Conducting elderly education for the elderly population is of great significance in promoting their physical and mental health,promoting the construction of a positive aging concept,and establishing a comprehensive elderly health system.
