Abstract

This is the first comprehensive cohort study of the health of older people ever conducted in Iran. The aim of this project is to investigate the health status of older people in Amirkola in the northern part of Iran, near the Caspian Sea. The Amirkola Health and Ageing Project (AHAP) is mainly concerned with geriatric medical problems, such as falling, bone fragility and fractures, cognitive impairment and dementia, poor mobility and functional dependence. It is planned that all participants will be re-examined after 2 years. Data are collected via questionnaire, examinations and venepuncture. AHAP started in April 2011 and 1616 participants had been seen by 18 July 2012, the end of the baseline stage of this study. The participation rate was 72.3%. The prevalence of self-reported hypertension (41.2%) and diabetes mellitus (23.3%) are high. Only 14.4% of older people considered their health as excellent or good in comparison with others at this age. The prevalence of osteoporosis (T score≤-2.5) was 57.4% in women and 16.1% in men, and 38.2 % of older people were vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/ml). Researchers interested in using the information are invited to contact the principal investigator Seyed Reza Hosseini (hosseinim46@yahoo.com).

摘要

这是伊朗有史以来首次针对老年人健康开展的全面队列研究。该项目旨在调查伊朗北部里海附近阿米尔科拉地区老年人的健康状况。阿米尔科拉健康与老龄化项目（AHAP）主要关注老年医学问题，如跌倒、骨质脆弱与骨折、认知障碍与痴呆、行动不便和功能依赖。计划在2年后对所有参与者进行重新检查。数据通过问卷调查、体格检查和静脉穿刺收集。AHAP于2011年4月启动，截至2012年7月18日，即本研究基线阶段结束时，已对1616名参与者进行了检查。参与率为72.3%。自我报告的高血压患病率（41.2%）和糖尿病患病率（23.3%）很高。与同龄人相比，只有14.4%的老年人认为自己的健康状况为优秀或良好。骨质疏松症（T值≤-2.5）的患病率在女性中为57.4%，在男性中为16.1%，38.2%的老年人维生素D缺乏（<20 ng/ml）。有兴趣使用这些信息的研究人员请联系首席研究员赛义德·礼萨·侯赛尼（hosseinim46@yahoo.com）。
