The purpose of this study was to see whether there was gender difference in the utilization of a community rehabilitation program for cerebrovascular disease (CVD) patients in Japan and to examine factors affecting this gender difference. For CVD patients who participated in 16 community rehabilitation programs in the Saitama prefecture (n = 190), we studied their clinical and functional status, socioeconomic conditions, the degree of family support, and their use of rehabilitation and transportation services. The general characteristics of the programs and the type of transportation services they offered were also surveyed. The female proportion of all the program participants was 34.2% and its proportion tended to be smaller when their ADL level was worse. However, such difference by gender lessened after the participants were stratified by the type of transportation services and by such conditions as being accompanied by a family member during transportation.
本研究的目的是了解日本脑血管疾病（CVD）患者在社区康复项目利用方面是否存在性别差异，并探讨影响这种性别差异的因素。对于参与埼玉县16个社区康复项目的CVD患者（n = 190），我们研究了他们的临床和功能状况、社会经济条件、家庭支持程度以及他们对康复和交通服务的使用情况。我们还调查了这些项目的一般特征及其提供的交通服务类型。所有项目参与者中女性比例为34.2%，且当他们的日常生活活动（ADL）水平较差时，这一比例往往较小。然而，在根据交通服务类型以及交通过程中是否有家庭成员陪同进行分层后，这种性别差异有所减小。
