摘　　要：文化作为一种精神力量,能够在人们认识世界和改造世界的过程中转化为物质力量,对社会发展和个人成长产生深刻影响。文化与老年人身心健康有密切的关系,是影响老年人身心健康的重要因素。世界卫生组织认为,一旦人们的生活水平达到或超过基本的需求及有条件决定生活资料的使用方式时,文化因素对身心健康的作用也就越来越重要。老年人作为特殊群体,其躯体状况和自理能力逐渐下降,社会角色发生转变,身心障碍发生率较高。对相关研究进行综述,以期为有关旨在提高老年人身心健康措施的制定提供科学依据。As a kind of spiritual power, culture can transfer into a material power of knowing and changing the world, and bring profound influence to the development of society and personal growth. Culture has an intertwined relationship with physical and mental health of the elderly. The World Health Organization has pointed out that once people＇s standard of living has reached or exceed the minimal requirement they can decide the usage-mode of the means of livelihood, then the role of cultural factors on health become more and more important. The situation of aging in China is becoming increasingly serious. As a special group, the elderly＇s health status and self-care ability decease, while the rate of mental disease increases with the changing of their social roles. In this article, the culture impact on the physical and mental health of the elderly was reviewed in order to provide a science basis for formulating methods of enhancing physical and mental health of the elderly.
