Zdravje, počutje in zadovoljstvo z življenjem najstarejših starih v Sloveniji

Abstract

V javnozdravstvenih in družboslovnih razpravah se podatke za mlajše starejše pogosto posplošuje na vse starostnike, a dejansko se najstarejši stari precej razlikujejo od ostalih starostnikov. Namen članka je pokazati na te razlike z vidika zdravja, počutja in zadovoljstva z življenjem. Uporabili smo podatke 4. vala mednarodne raziskave SHARE (2011). Na vzorcu 1.306 slovenskih starostnikov smo opravili bivariantno analizo in ugotovili, da je samoocena zdravja povezana s starostjo (p = 0,000). Najstarejši stari imajo največ simptomov različnih bolezni (p = 0,000), težav s koncentracijo (p = 0,000) in pomanjkanjem energije (p = 0,001) ter so najbolj omejeni pri dnevnih aktivnostih in opravilih (p = 0,000). Pozitiven odnos do življenja s starostjo upada.

Secondary abstract:	In public health and social discussions, results pertaining to the young old are often extrapolated to the oldest old, yet their characteristics do not follow the exponential trend found in surveys of the oldest old. The purpose of this article is to point out these differences in terms of health, well-being and life satisfaction. The present analysis is based on the SHARE Wave4 international study (2011). We analysed 1,306 Slovenian older people in terms of bivariate analysis. We found that self-perceived health was associated with age (p = 0.000). The oldest old have several health conditions (p = 0.000), difficulties concentrating (p = 0.000), are lacking energy (p = 0.001) and are more limited in daily and instrumental activities (p = 0.000). A positive attitude to life declines with age.
