Relationship Between Activities of Daily Living and Attitude Toward Own Aging Among the Elderly in China: A Chain Mediating Model

This study used the 2014 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey to explore the relationship between the activities of daily living, cognitive function, social support, and attitudes toward own aging, and a structural equation model was established to test the mediating effect. (a) Pearson correlations were performed between the total scores on each scale, and the activities of daily living were significantly negatively correlated with cognitive function and social support and significantly positively correlated with attitudes toward own aging. Cognitive function was significantly positively correlated with social support but negatively correlated with attitude toward own aging; social support was significantly negatively correlated with attitude toward own aging. (b) The goodness-of-fit indices of the validation models for each measurement model were robust. The activities of daily living among the elderly can directly predict attitudes toward own aging and can indirectly predict attitudes toward own aging through cognitive function and social support.
