OBJECTIVES
The number of restricted activity days experienced by an individual in the course of a year is an important measure of functional well-being, particularly for older adults. We sought to determine multivariate associations between restricted activity days and various health conditions.
METHODS
We used data from the 1984 Supplement on Aging of the National Health Interview Survey to estimate the relationship between restricted activity days and age, gender, and the presence or absence of selected chronic conditions and falls for all noninstitutionalized people aged 65 years and over. Chronic conditions and falls accounted for most of the variance in the model.
RESULTS
Of an annual average of 31 restricted activity days, 6 days were associated with falls; 4 days with heart disease; 4 days with arthritis and rheumatism; 2 days each with high blood pressure, cerebrovascular disease, and visual impairment; and 1 day each with atherosclerosis, diabetes, major malignancies, and osteoporosis.
CONCLUSIONS
These results can be used in estimating the potential impact of health promotion programs on the health status of noninstitutionalized older adults.
目的
一个人在一年中经历的活动受限天数是衡量功能健康状况的一项重要指标，对老年人而言尤其如此。我们试图确定活动受限天数与各种健康状况之间的多变量关联。
方法
我们使用了1984年《国家健康访谈调查老龄补充调查》的数据，以估算65岁及以上所有非住院人群的活动受限天数与年龄、性别、选定慢性病的有无以及跌倒之间的关系。慢性病和跌倒占模型中大部分变异。
结果
在每年平均31天的活动受限天数中，6天与跌倒有关；4天与心脏病有关；4天与关节炎和风湿病有关；2天分别与高血压、脑血管疾病和视力障碍有关；1天分别与动脉粥样硬化、糖尿病、主要恶性肿瘤和骨质疏松症有关。
结论
这些结果可用于评估健康促进计划对非住院老年人健康状况的潜在影响。
