| Abstract: | Background :- Social Isolation is being considered as a major problem among the geriatric population. This isolation was seen to be causing decline in psychological health and difficulty in carrying out the daily living activities in older people. It was also found to be causing a decrease in food consumption leading to risk of malnutrition. Aim :- To study the impact of social isolation on psychological health, physical health and dietary patterns in elderly population belonging to 60-80 years. Methodology :- A cross-sectional research study design with a purposive convenience sampling method was used and the sample size was 100 older people residing within Maharashtra. The data was collected through a google form from the age group of 60-80 years. A questionnaire consisted demographic details, economic details, anthropometric measurements, social isolation measurement by UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) loneliness scale, psychological well- being by Ryff's Psychological well-being scale, physical activity, dietary habits, FFQ and 24 hrs dietary recall.The data analysis was done using the Statistical Package of Social Software Program (SPSS,version 20). The examination of data comprised one way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation. Result :-In the study, the majority of the participants were living with either their spouse or their children. The participants belonged to the middle upper class category as per family income and most of the participants were found to be retired. The participants were found to be having co-morbidities like High BP and Diabetes.The general health of the subjects was found to be between fair and good. The social isolation was found to be more in participants belonging to 71-80 years of age and in females (p<0.05)whereas the psychological well-being scores was found to be high among the age group of 61-70 years and in males (p<0.05). The different food group intake was found to be almost similar in both the age groups but the intake of macronutrient and micronutrients was found to be lower in both the age groups and genders as compared to the recommended dietary allowance. The effect of social isolation on psychological health was statistically significant among both the age groups (p<0.01) similarly isolation was also seen to be affecting the physical activities of the participants. The association of dietary intake pattern and social isolation was also found to be statistically significant when compared among the age groups as well as genders (p<0.05). Social isolation was seen to be lowering down the consumption of almost every food group like cereals, dals, milk and dairy products, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds as well beverages. Conclusion :- According to the findings of thestudy, social isolation was seen to be highly affecting the psychological health and physical activity of the geriatric population. The effects of social isolation have also reduced the consumption of different food groups which may cause deficiency among the geriatric population. |
