Cross-sectional physical health practice and health care utilization data from the 1977 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed. After adjusting for the effects of age, sex, race, income, education, and marital status, there were significant relationships between hours of sleep and both doctor visits and hospital days; increased physical activity was associated with fewer doctor visits. Prospective intervention studies are needed to determine whether changes in health practices will lead to decreased utilization.
对1977年全国健康访谈调查的横断面身体健康实践和医疗保健利用数据进行了分析。在对年龄、性别、种族、收入、教育程度和婚姻状况的影响进行调整后,睡眠时间与就诊次数和住院天数之间存在显著关系;增加体育活动与较少的就诊次数相关。需要进行前瞻性干预研究,以确定健康实践的改变是否会导致医疗保健利用率的降低。
