A better understanding of the aspects associated with social frailty and strategies for its prevention could, be useful for psychological health in older adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between social frailty and depressive symptoms in community-dwelling older adults. METHOD: Data from 812 community-dwelling older adults (aged ? 65 years, mean age 74.8 years, 62.6% female), who had participated in a community-based health check survey (Tarumizu Study 2018) were analyzed. Older adults who were requiring long-term care and having a history of dementia and depression were excluded. Social frailty was defined using responses to five questions (going out less frequently, rarely visiting friends, feeling unhelpful to friends or family, living alone and not talking with someone every day). If two or more items out of the five were defined as social frailty. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS15), and a total score of 5 or more were considered as depressive symptoms. RESULTS: The prevalence of social frailty was 13.8%. Participants with social frailty showed a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms than those without (33.0% versus 12.9%, p < 0.01). Four items (going out less frequently, rarely visiting friends, feeling unhelpful to friends or family and not talking with someone every day) were associated with a high percentage of depressive symptoms (p < 0.01). Based on the results of logistic regression analysis, social frailty was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (odds ratio 3.04, 95% confidence interval 1.88?4.92), after adjusting for sex, age, education, grip strength, walking speed and Mini-Cog total score. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggested that social frailty was associated with depressive symptoms. Moreover, the social aspects of frailty could have a negative impact on psychological health. Further longitudinal studies will be needed to examine the causal relationship between social frailty and depression and the effect of interventions on social aspects.}, pages = {11--18}, title = {地域在住高齢者における社会的フレイルとうつ傾向との関連}, volume = {31}, year = {2021} }
