Abstract

Objectives

Age-related variations in emotional, physical, and cognitive health are poorly understood. This multimethod study extends previous work by investigating mechanistic models by which trait mindfulness, perceived stress, and negative affect (NA) influence health outcomes in adults aged 57–87 years old.

Method

In this cross-sectional study, 119 adults completed clinical interviews, cognitive and gait assessments, the Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and Perceived Stress Scale. Gait velocity and executive function (Flanker test of inhibitory control), which are important predictors of global health and functioning in older adults, served as objective health outcome measures.

Results

Correlational analyses found that trait mindfulness is positively associated with age, gait velocity, and inhibitory control and negatively associated with NA and perceived stress. NA but not perceived stress was associated with slower gait velocity. PROCESS mediation analyses suggested that those higher in trait mindfulness showed lower NA as a result of less perceived stress, while moderation analyses indicated the relationship between gait velocity and age varied by levels of trait mindfulness.

Conclusion

Our findings are consistent with a mindfulness stress-buffering model of health. It is plausible that trait mindfulness, which has both mediating and moderating effects on health, might help to promote more successful aging and provide resilience to age-related declines in physical health.

正念压力缓冲健康模型:对成功老龄化的影响

摘要

目标

人们对情绪、身体和认知健康与年龄相关的变化知之甚少。这项多方法研究通过调查机制模型扩展了之前的工作,通过这些模型,特质正念、感知压力和负面情绪 (NA) 影响 57-87 岁成年人的健康结果。

方法

在这项横断面研究中,119 名成年人完成了临床访谈、认知和步态评估、正念注意力和意识量表、积极和消极情绪表以及感知压力量表。步态速度和执行功能(抑制控制的侧翼测试)是老年人整体健康和功能的重要预测因素,可作为客观的健康结果衡量指标。

结果

相关分析发现,特质正念与年龄、步态速度和抑制控制呈正相关,与 NA 和感知压力呈负相关。不存在但感知到的压力与较慢的步态速度相关。PROCESS 中介分析表明,特质正念较高的人由于感知压力较小而表现出较低的 NA,而调节分析表明步态速度与年龄之间的关系因特质正念水平而异。

结论

我们的研究结果与正念压力缓冲健康模型一致。特质正念对健康具有中介和调节作用,它可能有助于促进更成功的衰老,并为与年龄相关的身体健康下降提供恢复力。
