许多大型队列研究已经开始收集回顾性儿童健康信息。然而，很少有研究调查这些数据的内容和质量。本研究通过使用威斯康星州纵向研究调查主观回顾性儿童健康措施的内容来填补这一空白。作者发现，一系列常见的儿童状况和活动限制是儿童健康状况总体评估的重要预测因素。那些持续/复发的疾病，如哮喘、慢性支气管炎和频繁的耳部感染，是整体健康报告的最强预测因子。结果支持明智地使用回顾性儿童健康数据。
Numerous large cohort studies have begun collecting retrospective childhood health information. However, few studies have investigated the content and quality of such data. This study fills this gap by investigating the content of subjective retrospective childhood health measures using the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. The authors find that a wide array of common childhood conditions and activity limitations were significant predictors of overall assessments of childhood health status. Those conditions that were persistent/recurring, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and frequent ear infections, were the strongest predictors of overall health reports. The results lend support to the judicious use of retrospective childhood health data.
