Ha J, et al. - Via a cross-sectional survey, researchers assessed 175 participants at the Community Senior Club of an urban area to determine how perceived health status among elderly workers is influenced by occupational stress, frailty, sleep quality, and motives for food choices. Findings revealed significant negative correlations of occupational stress, frailty, and sleep quality scores, with perceived health status. Positive correlations with perceived health status were shown by five motives for food choices (health, weight control, price, sensory appeal, and mood). The significant influencing factors for perceived health status, as revealed in linear regression analysis, were occupational stress, frailty, and motives for food choices based on sensory appeal, and therefore, should be considered when examining the health of elderly workers. When considering these factors and the elderly population, more tailored health promotion interventions are required, according to the investigators.
