Activities of daily living limitations and family doctor contract services among overweight and obese older adults: is there a rural-urban difference? BMC PRIMARY CARE 2023; 24:223. [PMID: 37891472 PMCID: PMC10612158 DOI: 10.1186/s12875-023-02177-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between activities of daily living (ADL) limitations and family doctor contract services among overweight and obese older adults, as well as to examine whether this association varies by urban-rural residence. METHODS Data for the present study were obtained from the sixth Health Service of Shandong province, China. A total of 4,249 overweight and obese older adults were included in this study. Binary logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between ADL limitations and family doctor contract services, to examine the potential differences between urban and rural areas. RESULTS Of 4,249 overweight and obese older adults, the prevalence of limitations in ADL and family doctor service contracting rate in Shandong province were 12.47% and 66.46%, respectively. The results of the regression analyses revealed that overweight and obese older adults with ADL limitations were more likely to sign up for family doctor services than those without ADL limitations (OR = 1.27, 95%CI: 1.02-1.58, P = 0.033). Only among rural overweight and obese older adults, the relationship between ADL limitations and family doctor contract services was statistically significant (OR = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.13-1.99, P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Our study found a significant association between ADL limitations and family doctor contract services among overweight and obese older adults in Shandong, China. This relationship differed by urban-rural residence. To promote the positive development of the family doctor contract service system, the government should increase publicity, provide personalized contracted services, and prioritize the healthcare needs of overweight and obese older adults with ADL limitations, with special attention to rural areas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the incidence of anxiety and depression and examine their cross-sectional associations with chronic pain and quality of life among older adults in rural China. DESIGN Observational, multi-center, cross-sectional study. METHODS A structured, self-report questionnaire was administered. Descriptive statistics analysis and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were performed. FINDINGS 244 participants (female: 47.1%) filled out the questionnaires. 87 (35.7%) had symptoms of anxiety and 123 (50.4%) had symptoms of depression. The sensory pain descriptor, affective pain descriptor, physical component summary, and mental component summary significantly influenced symptoms of anxiety while affective pain descriptor, physical component summary, and mental component summary significantly influenced symptoms of depression. CONCLUSION Subjective pain experiences and QoL, including physical and mental domains, are strongly related to symptoms of anxiety and depression among older adults in rural China. CLINICAL EVIDENCE Interventions that highlight subjective pain experiences and QoL may help to relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression in older adults.

Gao L, Dahmen A, Keller FM, Becker P, Lippke S. The Mediation Effect of Phobic Anxiety on the Treatment Outcome of Activity and Participation across Age: Comparison between Online and Face-to-Face Rehabilitation Aftercare of an RCT. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:10919. [PMID: 34682655 PMCID: PMC8536151 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182010919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The efficacy of internet and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) has been demonstrated with different mental health disorders, but little is known about the mediating effect of phobic anxiety on activity and participation and the differential effect of age. The current study tested a moderated mediation model with short-term change in phobic anxiety mediating between treatment (IMI vs. face-to-face, F2F) and long-term change in activity and participation, and age of patients moderating this mediation. Participants (N = 142) were recruited from psychosomatic rehabilitation clinics and randomized into the IMI psychosomatic aftercare or F2F psychosomatic aftercare. Moderated mediation analyses were conducted using R software. Results showed that the long-term treatment effects of activity and participation (βc = -0.18, p = 0.034; βc' = -0.13, p = 0.145) were improved through the successful decrease of phobic anxiety (βa = -0.18, p = 0.047; βb = 0.37, p = 0.010). Older patients benefited equally from both IMI and F2F interventions regarding short-term treatment change in phobic anxiety, while younger participants benefited more from IMI (βAge*Treatment = 0.20, p = 0.004). IMIs targeting mental disorders can improve activity and participation along with phobic anxiety, especially in younger individuals. The needs of older patients should be considered with the development and improvement of IMIs.
