BACKGROUND Living alone is increasingly common and has been depicted as an important cause of mortality. We examined the association between living alone and mortality risks among older men and women in northern Sweden, by linking two unique longitudinal datasets. METHODS We used the Linnaeus database, which links several population registers on socioeconomic and health. This register-based study included 22,226 men and 23,390 women aged 50 and 60 years in Västerbotten County who had participated in the Västerbotten Intervention Program (VIP) during 1990-2006, with a total of 445,823 person-years of observation. We conducted Cox-proportional hazard regression to assess the risk of living alone on the mortality that was observed between 1990 and 2015, controlling for socio-demographic factors, chronic disease risk factors and access to social capital. RESULTS Older men and women who lived alone with no children at home were at a significantly higher risk of death compared to married/cohabiting couples with children at home (with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.38, 95% CI of 1.26-1.50 in men and 1.27, 95% CI of 1.13-1.42 in women). Living alone was an even stronger factor than the well-established chronic disease risk factors and a lack of access to social capital. CONCLUSIONS A significant association between living alone and mortality among the older adult population in Sweden was observed. Providing good social support for older people is important in preventing the negative health impact of living alone.

瑞典Västerbotten县的独居和老年人死亡率:一项基于调查和登记的纵向研究。

背景技术独居生活越来越普遍,并且已被描绘成死亡的重要原因。通过链接两个独特的纵向数据集,我们研究了瑞典北部老年男性和女性的独居生活与死亡风险之间的关联。方法我们使用了Linnaeus数据库,该数据库链接了有关社会经济和健康的多个人口登记册。这项基于登记册的研究包括1990年至2006年间参加Västerbotten干预计划(VIP)的Västerbotten县的22226名男性和23390名女性,年龄分别为50岁和60岁,观察总数为445,823人年。我们进行了Cox比例风险回归分析,以1990年至2015年期间观察到的死亡率评估了单独生活的风险,并控制了社会人口统计学因素,慢性病危险因素和获得社会资本的机会。结果与在家中没有子女的已婚/同居夫妇相比,独居而没有子女的老年男女的死亡风险显着更高(调整后的危险比为1.38,95%CI为1.26-1.50,男性和女性)。 1.27,女性的95%CI为1.13-1.42)。与公认的慢性病风险因素和缺乏获得社会资本的机会相比,单独生活是一个更强大的因素。结论在瑞典老年人中,独居与死亡率之间存在显着关联。为老年人提供良好的社会支持对于防止独居对健康的负面影响很重要。结果与在家中没有子女的已婚/同居夫妇相比,独居而没有子女的老年男女的死亡风险显着更高(调整后的危险比为1.38,95%CI为1.26-1.50,男性和女性)。 1.27,女性的95%CI为1.13-1.42)。与公认的慢性病风险因素和缺乏获得社会资本的机会相比,单独生活是一个更强大的因素。结论在瑞典老年人中,独居与死亡率之间存在显着关联。为老年人提供良好的社会支持对于防止独居对健康的负面影响很重要。结果与在家中没有子女的已婚/同居夫妇相比,独居而没有子女的老年男女的死亡风险显着更高(调整后的危险比为1.38,95%CI为1.26-1.50,男性和女性)。 1.27,女性的95%CI为1.13-1.42)。与公认的慢性病风险因素以及缺乏获得社会资本的机会相比,单独生活是一个更强大的因素。结论在瑞典老年人中,独居与死亡率之间存在显着关联。为老年人提供良好的社会支持对于防止独居对健康的负面影响很重要。与公认的慢性病风险因素和缺乏获得社会资本的机会相比,单独生活是一个更强大的因素。结论在瑞典老年人中,独居与死亡率之间存在显着关联。为老年人提供良好的社会支持对于防止独居对健康的负面影响很重要。与公认的慢性病风险因素以及缺乏获得社会资本的机会相比,单独生活是一个更强大的因素。结论在瑞典老年人中,独居与死亡率之间存在显着关联。为老年人提供良好的社会支持对于防止独居对健康的负面影响很重要。
