In two representative samples of persons aged over 65, living in private households (N = 343) and in nursing homes (N = 146), mortality was studied prospectively in relation to psychiatric status. After a cross-sectional baseline examination the two groups were followed up over eight and six years respectively. The study shows a high mortality risk among persons with dementing disorders and a short-term increase among persons with functional psychiatric disorders, even after controlling for the most significant confounding variables (age, sex, physical impairment) using the proportional hazards regression model developed by Cox.
在两个具有代表性的样本中，对居住在私人家庭（N = 343）和养老院（N = 146）的65岁以上老人进行了前瞻性研究，以探讨死亡率与精神状态的关系。经过横断面基线检查后，两组分别随访了八年和六年。该研究表明，即使使用Cox开发的比例风险回归模型控制了最显著的混杂变量（年龄、性别、身体损伤），患有痴呆症的人群死亡率风险依然很高，而患有功能性精神障碍的人群死亡率在短期内有所上升。
