BACKGROUND
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion emphasizes the use of preventive healthcare interventions to "increase quality and years of healthy life". The objective of this study is to evaluate over a 1-year period the total individual healthcare expenditures based upon the likelihood of the person utilizing preventive healthcare measures.
METHODS
We analyzed data from the 1998 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) to compare healthcare expenditures of respondents who have and have not followed generally accepted preventive healthcare measures including influenza vaccination, blood pressure checkup, prostate examination, cholesterol determination, and mammography.
RESULTS
In general, respondents who lacked evidence of pursuing accepted preventive healthcare practices had lower overall healthcare expenditures in 1998 compared to those who pursued such practices. Specifically, they had lower expenditures for office-based visits and for prescriptions.
CONCLUSIONS
People who pursue accepted preventive healthcare measures spent more for their total healthcare over a given year.
背景
疾病预防与健康促进办公室强调使用预防性医疗干预措施来“提高健康生活的质量和年限”。本研究的目的是在一年时间内，根据个人使用预防性医疗措施的可能性来评估其总的个人医疗支出。
方法
我们分析了1998年医疗支出面板调查（MEPS）的数据，以比较遵循和未遵循包括流感疫苗接种、血压检查、前列腺检查、胆固醇测定和乳房X光检查等普遍接受的预防性医疗措施的受访者的医疗支出。
结果
总体而言，与遵循这些措施的受访者相比，缺乏采取公认预防性医疗措施证据的受访者在1998年的总体医疗支出较低。具体而言，他们在门诊就诊和处方方面的支出较低。
结论
在特定年份，采取公认预防性医疗措施的人在其总的医疗保健方面花费更多。
