This report presents national estimates on differences in the use of home health care between men and women aged 65 years and over.
Estimates are based on data from the 2007 National Home and Hospice Care Survey, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.
In the United States, men aged 65 years and over used home health care at a lower rate than women. Among home health care patients 65 years and over, women were more likely to be 85 years and over while men were more likely to be married and receive home health care as post-acute care. Women 65 years and over who received home health care were less likely than males to receive wound care and physical therapy, and more likely to receive homemaker services. Among home health care patients who were 65 years and over, cancer was more prevalent among men, and essential hypertension was more common among women.
本报告呈现了65岁及以上男性和女性在家庭保健使用方面差异的全国性估计数据。
这些估计数据基于疾病控制与预防中心国家卫生统计中心开展的2007年全国家庭与临终关怀护理调查的数据。
在美国，65岁及以上男性使用家庭保健的比例低于女性。在65岁及以上的家庭保健患者中，女性更有可能年龄在85岁及以上，而男性更有可能已婚且作为急性后期护理接受家庭保健。65岁及以上接受家庭保健的女性比男性接受伤口护理和物理治疗的可能性更小，而接受家务服务的可能性更大。在65岁及以上的家庭保健患者中，癌症在男性中更为普遍，原发性高血压在女性中更为常见。
