To explore the changes in the quality of life and its influencing factors of elderly people in rural areas of Sichuan province from 2018 to 2023, and to provide a basis for timely adjustment of health intervention measures.
Data from the sixth and seventh health service surveys in Sichuan province in 2018 and 2023 were summarized, and the EQ-5D questionnaire health utility value and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were used to evaluate quality of life.Survey time interaction items were includedin a weighted two-level random intercept model to explore the differences in the effects of influencing factors.
The utility value of elderly people in rural areas of Sichuan province was 0.83±0.22, and the VAS score was 65.53±17.81, both lower than the national average. Analysis showedthat survey year, individual characteristics, lifestyle, chronic disease prevalence, and family medical factors wereinfluencing factors for utility value and VAS score. In addition, in the utility score, the interaction items of over 80 years old (β=0.046, P<0.001), 1-2 times of weekly exercise (β=-0.035, P=0.045), diabetes (β=0.032, P=0.031), and annual family income of over 50 000 (β=0.029, P=0.048) with time were statistically significant; In VAS score, the interaction between time and age of over 80 years old (β=4.647, P<0.001), primary and junior high school education (β=-3.301, P<0.001), alcohol consumption (β=-2.262, P=0.004), diabetes (β=4.946, P<0.001), hypertension (β=2.992, P<0.001), annual family income of more than 50 000 (β=4.322, P<0.001), physical examination in the past year (β=2.925, P<0.001) had statistical significance.
The quality of life of elderly people in rural areas of Sichuan province is relatively low and requires attention. When formulating health intervention measures, full consideration should be given to the changes in the above factors and effects.
