加拿大社区居民中轮椅和踏板车的使用 prevalence（此处 prevalence 直接保留英文，因为它在医学等领域有特定专业含义，暂未找到完全对应的中文术语，可根据上下文灵活处理，比如“患病率”等，但这里直接保留更合适）情况

BACKGROUND
Mobility impairments are the third leading cause of disability for community-dwelling Canadians. Wheelchairs and scooters help compensate for these challenges. There are limited data within the last decade estimating the prevalence of wheelchair and scooter use in Canada.
OBJECTIVE
The aims of this study were: (1) to estimate the prevalence of wheelchair and scooter use in Canada and (2) to explore relevant demographic characteristics of wheelchair and scooter users.
DESIGN
This study was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional national survey.
METHODS
The Canadian Survey on Disability (2012) collected data on wheelchair and scooter use from community-dwelling individuals aged 15 years and over with a self-identified activity limitation on the National Household Survey. Prevalence estimates were calculated as weighted frequencies, with cross-tabulations to determine the number of wheelchair and scooter users in Canada, by province, and demographic characteristics (ie, age, sex) and bootstrapping to estimate the variance of all point estimates.
RESULTS
There were approximately 288,800 community-dwelling wheelchair and scooter users aged 15 years and over, representing 1.0% of the Canadian population. The sample included 197,560 manual wheelchair users, 42,360 powered wheelchair users, and 108,550 scooter users. Wheelchair and scooter users were predominantly women, with a mean age of 65 years. Approximately 50,620 individuals used a combination of 2 different types of devices.
LIMITATIONS
The results are representative of individuals living in the community in Canada and exclude individuals in residential or group-based settings; estimates do not represent the true population prevalence.
CONCLUSION
This analysis is the first in more than 10 years to provide a prevalence estimate and description of wheelchair and scooter users in Canada. Since 2004, there has been an increase in the proportion of the population who use wheelchairs and scooters, likely related to an aging Canadian population. These new prevalence data have potential to inform policy, research, and clinical practice.
背景
行动障碍是加拿大社区居民残疾的第三大主要原因。轮椅和踏板车有助于应对这些挑战。在过去十年中，估算加拿大轮椅和踏板车使用 prevalence 的数据有限。
目的
本研究的目的是：（1）估算加拿大轮椅和踏板车的使用 prevalence；（2）探讨轮椅和踏板车使用者的相关人口统计学特征。
设计
本研究是对一项全国性横断面调查的二次分析。
方法
《加拿大残疾调查》（2012 年）从 15 岁及以上、在全国家庭调查中自我认定有活动受限的社区居民那里收集了关于轮椅和踏板车使用的数据。prevalence 估计值以加权频率计算，通过交叉列表确定加拿大轮椅和踏板车使用者的数量、按省份以及人口统计学特征（即年龄、性别），并采用自抽样法估计所有点估计值的方差。
结果
15 岁及以上的社区轮椅和踏板车使用者约有 288,800 人，占加拿大人口的 1.0%。样本包括 197,560 名手动轮椅使用者、42,360 名电动轮椅使用者和 108,550 名踏板车使用者。轮椅和踏板车使用者以女性为主，平均年龄为 65 岁。约 50,620 人使用了两种不同类型设备的组合。
局限性
结果仅代表加拿大社区居民，不包括居住在机构或集体环境中的人；估计值并不代表真实的人群 prevalence。
结论
该分析是十多年来首次对加拿大轮椅和踏板车使用者的 prevalence 进行估计和描述。自 2004 年以来，使用轮椅和踏板车的人口比例有所增加，这可能与加拿大人口老龄化有关。这些新的 prevalence 数据有可能为政策制定、研究和临床实践提供参考。
