To identify the health profile of a group of older people in Macau.
People were concerned about their current health status, and Macau people are placing increasing importance on their health.
A descriptive survey was conducted during the period July and August 2004 in six parishes in Macau; 1836 older people aged 60-98 completed a structured questionnaire.
Cluster analysis revealed three profiles within five main factors: physical, functional, mental, social and nutritional, and demographic.
Our data describing older people's health status can be structured into a profile reflecting the characteristics of the population under study. Healthcare professionals will be able to apply these health profiles to develop interventions that improve this population's health and daily functioning, and broaden their social network.
The findings will assist healthcare professionals or nurse practitioners by creating health profiles that they can use to develop interventions to improve the health of older Chinese in Macau.
确定澳门一组老年人的健康状况。
人们关注自身当前的健康状况，澳门居民对自身健康的重视程度日益提高。
2004年7月至8月期间，在澳门的六个堂区进行了一项描述性调查；1836名年龄在60 - 98岁的老年人完成了一份结构化问卷。
聚类分析在五个主要因素（身体、功能、心理、社会和营养以及人口统计学因素）中揭示了三种健康状况类型。
我们描述老年人健康状况的数据可以构建成一种反映所研究人群特征的健康状况类型。医疗保健专业人员将能够应用这些健康状况类型来制定干预措施，以改善该人群的健康和日常功能，并拓宽他们的社交网络。
这些发现将通过创建健康状况类型来帮助医疗保健专业人员或执业护士，他们可以利用这些类型来制定干预措施，以改善澳门老年华人的健康状况。
