How daily activities relate to psychological distress in older Chinese adults through multiple mental health factors

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Activities of daily living (ADL) may impact psychological distress through three significant mediating pathways, with a total mediating effect of 36.56%.

  • Loneliness accounted for 23.98% of the total effect on psychological distress related to ADL.
  • Sleep quality contributed 9.67% to the overall relationship between ADL and psychological distress.
  • A combined effect of loneliness and sleep quality was associated with 2.91% of the total impact on psychological distress.
  • The findings suggest that both loneliness and sleep quality may serve as important factors in understanding the psychological well-being of older adults.
  • Causal interpretations are limited due to the cross-sectional nature of the study.
