Data of the life situation survey of the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) of 1982 have been analysed. This secondary analysis has been carried out to study differences in health and medical consumption between urban and rural elderly. Two contrasting groups of elderly have been used: urban and rural elderly. It has been found that there are no differences in the prevalence of chronic disorders. More mental complaints have been found among male urban elderly compared to male rural elderly. The same relationship, although not significant, exists for women. For women it has been found that urban elderly feel less healthy than rural elderly. Male urban elderly aged 55-74 year pay more visits to the general practitioner than rural elderly of the same age. The same holds for women aged 75 year and over who also pay more visits to the physician.
对中央统计局（CBS）1982年生活状况调查的数据进行了分析。此次二次分析旨在研究城乡老年人在健康和医疗消费方面的差异。研究使用了两组形成对比的老年人：城市老年人和农村老年人。研究发现，慢性疾病的患病率没有差异。与农村男性老年人相比，城市男性老年人有更多的心理问题。女性也存在同样的关系，尽管不显著。对于女性而言，发现城市老年人感觉不如农村老年人健康。55至74岁的城市男性老年人比同龄的农村老年人看全科医生的次数更多。75岁及以上的女性也是如此，她们看医生的次数也更多。
