Background: The age of support and endurance against external and internal factors and agents is greatly less so that the need for health care including physical and mental training to improve the quality of life is essential especially the physical health of the elderly. Target:. Determination of physical health scores and associations of people aged 60 years and older at nursing clubs in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, in 2019. Methods and materials: Descriptive cross-section study. People aged 60 years and over who have been training at nursing clubs living in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City were surveyed from September 2018 to October 2019. Results: The study showed an average score of 63.3 in ±17.3 points. In particular, physical activity: 61.0±23.1; physical limitations: 57.2±26.1; pain sensation: 68.2±22,2; general health: 59.6±14.9. Considering the relationship, as the age group increases, the mean score of the elderly's quality of life decreases statistically significantly in four áreas (p<0,05). Women have a statistically significantly higher mean score on quality of life than men (p<0,05). Conclusions: The results of the study are important information that informs the physical health status of elderly people aged 60 years and older, and suggests recommendations in improving the quality of physical health care of the elderly.

ABSTRACTBackground:The present study investigated changes in the trajectories of depressive symptoms in the elderly and attempted to identify risk factors that influence these changes according to gender.Methods:All data were obtained from a subsample of subjects who participated in the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing between 2006 and 2012; 3,667 individuals (1,566 men and 2,101 women) aged 60 years and older were included in the present study. A group-based trajectory model was employed to determine the appropriate number of groups and to observe changes in depressive symptoms according to research year. Following the trajectory analysis, a multinomial regression analysis was performed to examine depressive symptom-related risk factors that influenced membership in the different trajectory groups.Results:Significant gender differences were found in the trajectories of depressive symptoms among four groups (normal, mild depressed, worsening, and depressed) in men and five groups (normal, mild depressed, worsening, improving, and depressed) in women. Among the trajectory groups, physical health status such as chronic diseases, self-rated health (SRH), and somatic pain showed statistically significant differences in both genders. In addition, employment in men and social participation in women were associated with the trajectories.Conclusions:The present study suggested that maintaining one's physical health status played an important role in preventing depressive symptoms and that employment in men and social participation in women were preventative against the development of depressive symptoms.
