该研究的目的是检查和比较农村和城市成年人的健康状况。数据来自 1993 年对肯塔基州成年居民进行的基于概率的电话调查 (n=662)。使用医疗结果研究、简短健康调查 (SF-20) 对大都市统计区 (MSA) 居民 (n=264) 和非 MSA 居民 (n=398) 进行比较。还比较了城市居民（n=406）和农村居民（n=256）的自我认知。其他分析按 18-44 岁、45-64 岁和大于或等于 65 岁的年龄类别进行分层。农村和城市成年人的健康状况几乎没有差异。然而，农村老年人（≥65岁）的健康状况明显较差于城市老年人。在多元回归中控制人口变量后，农村老年人的功能明显较差（所有 p
The objective of the study was to examine and compare health status between rural and urban adults. The data are from a 1993 statewide probability-based telephone survey of adult Kentuckians (n=662). Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) residents (n=264) and nonMSA residents (n=398) were compared using the Medical Outcomes Study, Short Form Health Survey (SF-20). Self-perceived urban (n=406) and rural (n=256) residents were also compared. Additional analyses were stratified by the age categories of 18-44, 45-64, and greater than or equal to 65 years of age. Few differences in health status existed between rural and urban adults. However, rural elders (greater than or equal to 65 years) had significantly poorer health status than urban elders. After controlling for demographic variables in multiple regressions, rural elders had significantly poorer functioning (all p
