Much is written about the use of health services by older adults. Many such studies involve secondary analyses of existing data sources and rely on the behavioral model of health services utilization as the conceptual framework. This essay suggests that for both independent and dependent variables, severe shortcomings in the breadth and depth of the available data, and the numbers of intervals at which data have been recorded, continue to limit our understanding of the use of health services by older adults.
关于老年人使用卫生服务的文章众多。许多此类研究涉及对现有数据源的二次分析，并依赖卫生服务利用行为模型作为概念框架。本文认为，无论是自变量还是因变量，现有数据在广度和深度以及数据记录间隔数量方面的严重不足，仍然限制着我们对老年人卫生服务使用情况的理解。
