What demographic, geographic and temporal factors characterize the rate of first hospitalizations for affective psychosis in Costa Rica? This report presents graphically the first hospitalization rates for the whole country of Costa Rica, with analysis of specific rates for the subgroups by age, sex, marital status, level of education, occupation, place of residence, and place of birth, as well as separate rates by month and date of hospital admission, monopolar first admissions increased slowly from the age of 10 to the age of 45 years, then "exploded" to a peak between 55 and 65 years, then declined somewhat. The educational group among men with the highest rate was the group with at least some university education. Professionals, clerical workers, unskilled laborers, and those with no occupation had high rates. Higher rates were also associated with being single, divorced, widowed, having no occupation, and living in rural, coffee-growing areas that were not too distant from the hospital.
哥斯达黎加情感性精神病首次住院率的人口统计学、地理和时间因素有哪些特点？本报告以图表形式呈现了哥斯达黎加全国的首次住院率，并分析了按年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、职业、居住地点和出生地划分的亚组的具体比率，以及按住院月份和日期划分的单独比率。单相首次入院率从10岁到45岁缓慢上升，然后在55岁至65岁之间“激增”至峰值，随后有所下降。男性中首次住院率最高的教育组是至少受过一些大学教育的组。专业人员、文职人员、非技术工人和无业人员的首次住院率较高。首次住院率较高还与单身、离婚、丧偶、无业以及居住在距离医院不太远的农村咖啡种植区有关。
