Abstract:
Objective:To explore the influence of social support and depression on the infirmity of the elderly in the community.Methods:From September to October 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 489 community elderly people from 4 communities in Junshan Street, Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone as the research object. The self-designed General Information Questionnaire, Fried Frailty Phenotype, 30-Item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to investigate the elderly. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship among depression, social support, and frailty.Results:A total of 489 questionnaires were distributed, 470 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 96.1%. The incidences of pre-frailty and frailty among the elderly in the community were 35.3% (166/470) and 6.6% (31/470) , respectively. The incidence of depression was 14.0% (66/470) .
