A random sample of 20 sections in Justin Kabwe ward was made. It was possible only to visit the houses in twelve of these sections. There were 1,586 people in 203 houses surveyed in these sections, giving an average of 7.8 people per house. Thirty people (1.9%) aged 55 years or older were identified and were the subjects of a more detailed survey. Twenty-two of these subjects had been in Lusaka for over 10 years and had come looking for work or with their husbands. There were active links with the rural areas in only 10 cases. Only three elderly people paid a rent, the remainder either being householder or living with their children. Half of the respondents had no animal protein on the previous day and four people had only had a single meal. All but one woman had various occupations either with regular employment, selling in the market or household responsibilities. Alcohol and tobacco consumption did not appear to be a problem. The main health problem was a raised blood pressure in half those examined, although a diastolic blood pressure of over 100mms of mercury was only present in 4 (14%). A further survey needs to be done on the nutritional state of the elderly, their blood pressure, and their economic situation.
在贾斯汀·卡布韦病房随机抽取了20个区域。仅有可能走访其中12个区域的住户。在这些区域接受调查的203所房屋中有1586人，平均每户7.8人。确定了30名55岁及以上的人（1.9%），并对他们进行了更详细的调查。其中22人在卢萨卡已超过10年，是来此找工作或随丈夫一起来的。只有10例与农村地区有活跃联系。只有3位老年人支付租金，其余的要么是户主，要么与子女同住。一半的受访者前一天没有摄入动物蛋白，4人只吃了一顿饭。除了一名女性外，所有人都有各种职业，要么有固定工作，要么在市场上销售，要么承担家务。酒精和烟草消费似乎不是问题。主要健康问题是一半接受检查的人血压升高，不过舒张压超过100毫米汞柱的情况仅在4人（14%）中出现。需要对老年人的营养状况、血压和经济状况进行进一步调查。
