Objetivo: Identificar factores bioculturales y sociales que actúan en diferentes etapas del ciclo vital, implicados en la forma de envejecer de mujeres y hombres mayores de 65 años. Material y Método: 213 personas; edad media 73.9 (std=5.8) en mujeres y 74.8 (std=6.6) en hombres. Datos recogidos en Centros Culturales y de Ocio de la Comunidad de Madrid. El envejecimiento saludable (a partir del número de enfermedades diagnosticadas, percepción de la salud, satisfacción con la vida y estado auditivo y bucal),fue considerado como variable dependiente. La edad, sexo, nivel de estudios, talla sentado, envergadura, edad de primera maternidad y número total de hijos fueron consideradas como variables independientes. Se utilizaron modelos de regresión lineal múltiple para analizar la relación de estas variables con la calidad del envejecimiento. Resultados: El envejecimiento saludable se asocia negativamente con edad y directamente con talla sentado en hombres. En mujeres el envejecimiento saludable se asocia positivamente con años de educación, cuando se incluye la edad de primera maternidad,ésta es la única variable con efecto significativo. Conclusiones: Existen diferentes factores que actúan a lo largo de la vida de los hombres y de las mujeres y que afectan de manera distinta a su forma de envejecer.
Objective: To identify biocultural and social factors acting at different stages of lifecourse, involved in the form of aging in women and men over 65 years. Material and Methods: The sample consists of 213 individuals; mean age was 73.9 years (std=5.8) for women and 74.8 (std=6.6) for men. Data were collected in Cultural and Leisure Centers in the Community of Madrid. Healthy aging (created from the number of diagnosed diseases, perceived health, life satisfaction, hearing and oral status) was considered as the dependent variable. The independent variables considered in this study were age, sex, educational level, sitting height, spam, age at first maternity and the total number of children. Linear multiple regression models were used for statistical analysis. Results: Healthy aging was negatively associated with age and positively with the sitting height in men. In women, healthy aging was positively associated with years of education, when age at first motherhood is included in the model, this in the only variable remaining with a significant effect. Conclusions: There are several factors acting across the life of men and women and that affect differently the way women and men get old.
