To analyze the latent profiles of dementia fear among rural older adults and its influencing factors,aiming to provide a basis for developing targeted intervention strategies to promote healthy aging.
Using convenience sampling, 349 older adults from three rural areas in Hunan Province were selected from July to August 2023.A general information questionnaire, the Fear of Dementia Scale,and the Self-Perception of Aging Scale were used for investigation.Latent profile analysis was conducted to identify subgroups of dementia fear.Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore influencing factors.
Dementia fear among rural older adults could be divided into two latent profiles:no dementia fear group(32.67%) and moderate dementia fear group(67.33%). Logistic regression analysis showed that self-perception of aging(OR=1.113),age(OR=2.395,3.295),and exercise habits per week(OR=4.413) were influencing factors of latent profiles of dementia fear(P<0.05).
Dementia fear among rural older adults is at a moderate to low level with significant group heterogeneity.Individualized interventions should be implemented based on the characteristics of different subtypes to improve dementia fear of older adults.
