INTRODUCTION
Baby Boomers are working and living longer than their pre-war counterparts, and are more likely to live in high density urban housing. This paper examines the relationship between housing type, working status and location of residence on health status in Baby Boomers.
METHODS
We investigated location of residence and housing type in 1009 participants of the Ageing Baby Boomers in Australia (ABBA) Study to identify any predictors of, or correlations between, these variables and health status.
RESULTS
Current workers were less likely to report depression than retirees. We found a significantly higher rate of diabetes, obesity and hypertension in retirees than in current workers however rates of obesity, diabetes and hypertension were higher than predicted in current workers.
CONCLUSION
The rates of chronic disease are higher than previous estimates and provide evidence to inform health promotion programs designed to increase physical activity and improve eating habits in baby boomers.
引言
婴儿潮一代的工作年限和寿命比战前同龄人更长，而且更有可能居住在高密度的城市住房中。本文探讨了住房类型、工作状态和居住地点与婴儿潮一代健康状况之间的关系。
方法
我们在澳大利亚婴儿潮一代老龄化研究（ABBA研究）的1009名参与者中调查了居住地点和住房类型，以确定这些变量与健康状况之间的任何预测因素或相关性。
结果
在职人员报告患抑郁症的可能性低于退休人员。我们发现退休人员患糖尿病、肥胖症和高血压的比率明显高于在职人员，然而在职人员的肥胖症、糖尿病和高血压比率高于预期。
结论
慢性病的发病率高于先前的估计，并为旨在增加婴儿潮一代身体活动和改善饮食习惯的健康促进计划提供了参考依据。
