To study housing conditions of elderly people in Uppsala, Sweden.
The Albertina Project is an epidemiological study. A postal questionnaire was sent to a random sample.
The general population 75 years or older in the community of Uppsala, 1985.
Information on marital status, housing conditions, housing standard, problems with the apartment/house, desires for modifications to the apartment, wishes to stay or to move related to the possibility to prevent institutionalization because of bad housing standard.
About half of those who participated in the study were single (never married, divorced or widowed). 85% lived in their own homes, 10% in so-called service apartments, and only 5% in institutions. More than 90% had a good housing standard. 45% reported some form of housing problem, but only 14% wanted modifications to their dwelling, and only 8% wanted to move from their present dwelling, in most cases due to problems with stairs or need for more help.
Most people lived in their own home and wanted to stay there. The housing standard appeared to be satisfactory in the majority of cases but minor modifications might prevent "unnecessary" moves to institutions.
研究瑞典乌普萨拉老年人的居住状况。
阿尔贝蒂娜项目是一项流行病学研究。向一个随机样本发送了邮政调查问卷。
1985年，乌普萨拉社区75岁及以上的普通人群。
关于婚姻状况、居住条件、住房标准、公寓/房屋问题、对公寓改造的愿望、因住房标准差而可能导致入住机构养老的情况下是否希望留下或搬走的信息。
参与研究的人中约一半为单身（从未结婚、离异或丧偶）。85%的人居住在自己家中，10%居住在所谓的服务式公寓中，只有5%居住在机构里。超过90%的人住房标准良好。45%的人报告存在某种形式的住房问题，但只有14%的人希望对其住所进行改造，只有8%的人希望搬离目前的住所，大多数情况下是由于楼梯问题或需要更多帮助。
大多数人居住在自己家中并希望留在那里。大多数情况下住房标准似乎令人满意，但进行一些小改造可能会防止“不必要”地搬入机构养老。
