This study aims to validate a previously defined model of the risk of occupational injuries among older workers with visual, auditory, or other impairments. That model was based upon the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The previous logistic regression model was recalculated using data from the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The parameter estimates for impaired hearing (.181 in NHIS, 1.55 in HRS), impaired vision (2.42 in NHIS, 1.48 in HRS), and self-employment (0.22 in NHIS, 0.49 in HRS) were in same direction and of roughly the same magnitude. The previously defined model was confirmed using NHIS data. The data suggest that as the workforce ages, more attention must be paid to the accommodation of disabilities in the workplace, especially sensory impairments-poor vision and hearing.
本研究旨在验证先前定义的老年视力、听力或其他功能障碍工人职业伤害风险模型。该模型基于健康与退休研究（HRS）。使用1994年国家健康访谈调查（NHIS）的数据重新计算了先前的逻辑回归模型。听力受损（NHIS中为0.181，HRS中为1.55）、视力受损（NHIS中为2.42，HRS中为1.48）和自营职业（NHIS中为0.22，HRS中为0.49）的参数估计值方向相同且幅度大致相同。使用NHIS数据证实了先前定义的模型。数据表明，随着劳动力老龄化，必须更加关注工作场所的残疾适应问题，尤其是视力和听力等感官障碍。
