The relationship between age and the incidence of and mortality associated with pneumonia is complex. Age itself may not be an independent risk factor, because elderly patients also have a concomitant increase in the number of underlying risk factors for disease. The authors review the clinical features, epidemiology, and treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.
年龄与肺炎的发病率及死亡率之间的关系很复杂。年龄本身可能并非独立的风险因素，因为老年患者同时存在的基础疾病风险因素数量也会增加。作者们回顾了社区获得性肺炎的临床特征、流行病学及治疗方法。
