This proposal involves a pilot project which in itself is expected to provide important findings and which will also lead to a full-scale proposal. The goal of this research is to conduct a two-year longitudinal study of the relationships among psychosocial variables and measures of dental and physical health status. Based upon a model proposed, it is expected that physical and oral disease and physical and dental health status will predict the quality of life and (physical and oral health) functioning of elderly persons, and that these effects will be mediated by psychological variables such as social participation, ethnic identity, depression, anxiety, loneliness, a sense of mastery, optimism, self- esteem, cognitive functioning, and social support. Contextual variables such as marital status, income, education, and religiosity will also be examined. Access to, utilization of, and attitudes toward dental care, as well as dental health care habits will be assessed as mediators. The effects on causal models of age, gender, ethnic group, and being dentate or edentulous will be carefully examined. These data will be collected by personal interview and questionnaire in a longitudinal study of 200 elderly persons in four age cohorts, 60's (n=75; 37.5%), 70's (n=75; 37.5%), 80's (n=35; 17.5%) and 90's (n=15; 7.5%). The sample will be 60% White (n=120), 20% Hispanic (n=40) and 20% Black (n=40) recruited from a relatively rural (total town population 15,786) low income retirement village which houses 1597 elderly persons. The population of this village is 58% female and 42% male, and the sampling of this study will reflect this percentage. Interview and questionnaire assessments will be made one year apart. Subjects will be paid 10 dollars for their participation at each of two waves of data collection. The data will be analyzed using t- tests, correlations, multiple regression models, and LISREL multivariate causal modelling.

该提案涉及一个试点项目，预计该项目本身将 提供重要的发现，这也将导致全面的 提议。本研究的目标是进行为期两年的纵向研究 研究心理社会变量和测量之间的关系 牙齿和身体健康状况。根据所提出的模型， 预计身体和口腔疾病以及身体和牙齿健康 状态将预测生活质量和（身体和口腔健康） 老年人的功能，这些影响将通过 心理变量，如社会参与、种族认同、 抑郁、焦虑、孤独、掌控感、乐观、自我 尊重、认知功能和社会支持。上下文变量 例如婚姻状况、收入、教育和宗教信仰也将受到影响 检查了。获得、利用牙科护理以及对牙科护理的态度， 以及牙科保健习惯将作为中介因素进行评估。这 对年龄、性别、种族和牙齿的因果模型的影响 或无牙颌将被仔细检查。这些数据将由 对 200 人进行的纵向研究中的个人访谈和问卷调查 老年人分为四个年龄组：60 多岁（n=75；37.5%）、70 多岁（n=75；37.5%） 37.5%）、80 后（n=35；17.5%）和 90 后（n=15；7.5%）。样本将是60% 白人 (n=120)、20% 西班牙裔 (n=40) 和 20% 黑人 (n=40) 招募自 相对农村（城镇总人口 15,786）低收入退休 该村有老人1597人。该村人口数 女性占 58%，男性占 42%，本研究的抽样将反映 这个百分比。面试和问卷评估将合二为一 相隔一年。受试者将因参与而获得 10 美元的报酬 每两波数据收集。数据将使用 t-进行分析 检验、相关性、多元回归模型和 LISREL 多元 因果建模。
