We compared prevalence estimates of chronic disease risk factors and health status between American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) and White elders. We used 2001 and 2002 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to estimate the prevalence of smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, diagnosed diabetes, and general health status. For all health behavior and status measures, American Indians/Alaska Natives reported greater risk than did Whites. Risk factors among AIAN elders need to be addressed to eliminate disparities in chronic diseases.
我们比较了美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）和白人老年人之间慢性病风险因素的患病率估计值以及健康状况。我们使用2001年和2002年行为风险因素监测系统的数据来估计吸烟、身体活动不足、肥胖、确诊糖尿病和总体健康状况的患病率。对于所有健康行为和状况指标，美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民报告的风险高于白人。需要解决AIAN老年人中的风险因素，以消除慢性病方面的差异。
