“…That is the reason could explain that the self-care abilities, healthpromoting lifestyles and HRQOL level were poor in the Bai subjects. Our study was consistent with some previous researches, in which they also reported older age and education are the associated factors with hypertension [28,29].…”

“…So we found the HPLP grades were positively correlated with their ESCA and HRQOL level, which meant the higher scores of the HPLP scales, the better the self-care abilities and health-related quality of life are available to the elderly. This nding was consistent with the study of Zheng et al [29] which also implied that better HPLP was associated with higher QOL. Therefore, it is important to educate the sampling population to adhere to the recommended lifestyle to help them control their blood pressure and attain better HRQOL.…”

Background: The purpose of this research was to explore the association among health promoting lifestyle, self-care agency and health-related quality of life in Bai ethnic elderly patients with hypertension, as well as the related factors of hypertension self-care abilities. Methods: A total of 472 Bai ethnic hypertension elderly were enrolled into this study voluntarily from 5 rural communities of Bai ethnic group. The Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCAS) was to employed to assess Self-care ability of hypertension for the subjects, Health-promoting lifestyle profile Ⅱ(HPLP-Ⅱ) was utilized to evaluate the health behavior, and MOS 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were chosen to assess the HRQOL for the studying population. All descriptive analyses, including demographic characteristics, socio-economic status and clinical characteristics were stratified by Bai hypertensive elderly. Pearson correlation analysis model was used to examine the association among health promoting lifestyle, self-care agency and health-related quality of life in Bai ethnic elderly with hypertension. Multiple linear regression analysis model was used to investigate the influencing factors of SF-36 scale. Results: The HPLP-Ⅱ, ESCA and of HRQOL levels of the subjects were not favorable, and the mean HPLP and ESCA scores had no significant statistical variance among different age groups. Significant statistical differences were found on Bai elderly subjects in the domain of PF and PH as well as the overall score in SF-36(all P＜0.01), 60-64 year group had the highest score of above three domains in SF-36 than other age groups. The SF-36 scores were positively associated with HPLP and ESCA levels. Conclusion: The HPLP-Ⅱ, ESCA and of HRQOL levels of the Bai subjects were poor in the Bai ethnic hypertensive elderly. The HRQOL scores of subjects were positively connected with HPLP-Ⅱ, ESCA abilities. More attentions should be paid to the life-style, healthy behaviors, and self-care abilities improvements to enhance the better HRQOL of Bai minority elderly with hypertension.

Background Previous Chinese studies focused on the prevalence and influential factors of hypertension; however, little is known about their self-care literacy and quality of life among the Bai older adults with hypertension. The purpose of this research was to explore the associations among health-promoting lifestyle, self-care agency, and health-related quality of life in Bai ethnic older patients with hypertension, as well as the related factors of hypertension self-care abilities. Methods A total of 472 Bai ethnic hypertension older adults aged 60 and above were enrolled in this study voluntarily from 5 rural communities of the Bai ethnic group. The Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCAS) was employed to assess the Self-care ability of hypertension for the subjects, the Health-promoting lifestyle profile II(HPLP-II) was utilized to evaluate the health behavior, and MOS 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was chosen to assess the HRQOL for the studying population. All descriptive analyses, including demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, and clinical characteristics were stratified by Bai hypertensive elderly. Pearson correlation analysis model was used to examine the associations among health-promoting lifestyle, self-care agency, and health-related quality of life in Bai ethnic elderly with hypertension. Results The HPLP-II, ESCA, and of HRQOL levels of the subjects were low, and the mean HPLP and ESCA scores had no significant statistical variance among different age groups. Significant statistical differences were found in Bai elderly subjects in the domain of PF and PH as well as the overall score in SF-36(all P< 0.01), 60–64 year group had the highest score of the above three domains in SF-36 than other age groups. The SF-36 scores were positively associated with HPLP and ESCA levels. Conclusion The HPLP-II, ESCA, and of HRQOL levels of the Bai subjects were poor in the Bai ethnic hypertensive elderly. The HRQOL scores of subjects were positively connected with HPLP-II and ESCA abilities. More attention should be paid to lifestyle, healthy behaviors, and self-care abilities improvements to enhance the better HRQOL of Bai minority older adults with hypertension.

Objective To determine the association between perceived social support and family functioning in older people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out of 72 participants aged ≥60 years enrolled at an Open University of the Third Age (U3A) in the interior of Sao Paulo state, Brazil. The variables analyzed were socioeconomic and demographic conditions, social support (Medical Outcomes Study Scale), and family functioning (Family APGAR). The Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and Multivariate Poisson Regression tests were used for data analysis, with a significance level of 5%. Results The type of support with the highest mean scores was affectionate (95.1 points) while the lowest was emotional (87.4 points). Family dysfunction rate was 22.2%. For every additional point of affectionate support score, there was a decrease in the probability of presenting family dysfunction (OR=0.96; p=0.001). Conclusion Affectionate support was associated with family functioning. These findings highlight the importance of identifying family structure, dynamics, and relationships in planning comprehensive health care for the older population.
