About this study

Official title: Personal Variables Affecting the Successful Aging Level of Individuals Age of Sixty and Over

Three hundreds patients aged 60 years and older applicant for any reasons between January 3, 2019 and May 30, 2019, in Health Sciences University Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Polyclinics. A 21-item questionnaire including demographic information was asked to the individuals who gave consent to participate in the study, voluntarily, and who met the participation criteria and the Successful Aging Scale was administered face-to-face with the questionnaire method. Participants were evaluated under two subheadings according to the Successful Aging Scale and the results were compared with their demographic characteristics.

Read the detailed description

In our cross-sectional study; the target sample size was calculated as 299, with a population of 1350. The prevalence was 50%, the standard error was 5% in a 95% confidence interval. Between 03.01.2019 and 30.05.2019; 300 elderly volunteers who applied to the Health Sciences University Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Polyclinics for any reason, who were not diagnosed with neuropsychiatric disease, do not had physical or mental problems that would prevent them from understanding and filling the scales and do not have a health problem that require urgent intervention are included. Participants were informed, their consent was taken, and a 21-item sociodemographic form prepared by the researchers was applied. Afterwards, a 7-point Likert-type "Successful Aging Scale" (SAS) consisting of 10 questions was applied to the participants.16 The scale had two sub-components, namely "healthy lifestyle" (HL) and "adaptive coping" (AC). The values of the expressions in the scale were as "strongly agree:7, agree:6, partially agree:5, undecided:4, partially disagree:3, disagree:2, strongly disagree:1". The values for each individual were summed up and the scale was evaluated by subtracting the total score. Finally, the results from the questionnaire and the Successful Aging Scale were compared and analyzed according to subcomponents.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sociodemographic properties affect successful aging scores

    Gender, education level, level of income, retirement status affect scores of "Successful Aging Scale" (SAS) was used to assess the participants. The SAS consisted of 10 questions and had two sub-components: "healthy lifestyle" (HL) and "adaptive coping" (AC). The scale utilized the following response options: "strongly agree" (7), "agree" (6), "partially agree" (5), "undecided" (4), "partially disagree" (3), "disagree" (2), and "strongly disagree" (1). The higher the score taken from the scale, the higher the level of successful aging.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Healthy life habits affect successful aging scores

    Doing sports regularly, quitting existing bad habits (smoking and alcohol consumption) affect scores of "Successful Aging Scale" (SAS) was used to assess the participants. The SAS consisted of 10 questions and had two sub-components: "healthy lifestyle" (HL) and "adaptive coping" (AC). The scale utilized the following response options: "strongly agree" (7), "agree" (6), "partially agree" (5), "undecided" (4), "partially disagree" (3), "disagree" (2), and "strongly disagree" (1). The higher the score taken from the scale, the higher the level of successful aging.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Having chronic diseases affect successful aging scores

    Having hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney failure, thyroid diseases and other chronic diseases affect scores of "Successful Aging Scale" (SAS) was used to assess the participants. The SAS consisted of 10 questions and had two sub-components: "healthy lifestyle" (HL) and "adaptive coping" (AC). The scale utilized the following response options: "strongly agree" (7), "agree" (6), "partially agree" (5), "undecided" (4), "partially disagree" (3), "disagree" (2), and "strongly disagree" (1). The higher the score taken from the scale, the higher the level of successful aging.

    Measured: 1 week
