我们使用1982年、1984年和1989年国家长期护理调查的数据，检查了美国65岁及以上人口中16种疾病报告患病率的变化。这些疾病患病率的变化是根据观察结果进行检查的，并在1982年至1989年期间对美国老年人口的年龄，性别和残疾分布的变化进行标准化后进行检查。我们发现，1982年至1989年间，16种疾病的净患病率显著下降。在不同的残疾，年龄和性别组中发现了显着的变化，并在标准化后，除了年龄和性别之外，残疾的下降。1982年至1989年期间报告的发病率下降与1982年和1989年国家长期护理调查报告的慢性残疾和机构化的年龄和性别标准化流行率下降相一致。
We examined changes in the reported prevalence of 16 medical conditions in the U.S. population age 65 and above using data from the 1982, 1984, and 1989 National Long Term Care Surveys. Changes in those disease prevalence rates were examined both as observed, and after standardizing for changes in the age, sex, and disability distributions in the U.S. elderly population between 1982 and 1989. We found significant declines in the net prevalence of the 16 medical conditions between 1982 and 1989. Significant changes were found in different disability, age, and gender groups and after standardizing for declines in disability in addition to age and sex. The declines in morbidity reported between 1982 and 1989 are consistent with the declines reported in the 1982 and 1989 National Long Term Care Surveys in the age and sex standardized prevalence of chronic disability and institutionalization.
