The effect of aging on risk for development of decompression illness in divers has often been reported as an incidental finding in epidemiological analyses of diving accidents. No previous publications have specifically attempted to quantify or qualify those risks if present. This study demonstrates that aging increases risk for injury overall, serious injury in particular, and lessens recovery potential.
衰老对潜水员发生减压病风险的影响,在潜水事故的流行病学分析中常常作为一个偶然发现被报道。以前没有出版物专门尝试过量化或界定这些风险(如果存在的话)。本研究表明,衰老会增加总体受伤风险,尤其是严重受伤的风险,并降低恢复潜力。
