目的估计社区生活的老年人限制疲劳的比率，并确定该比率是否因年龄、性别、种族、身体虚弱和抑郁而异。设计前瞻性队列研究。设置大纽黑文，研究对象为70岁及以上的非残疾社区老年男性和女性（N=754）。或连续三个月或以上因疲劳而减少日常活动。身体虚弱的基础上定义的缓慢的步态速度，抑郁症进行了评估，使用流行病学研究中心抑郁Scale.ResultsDuring中位随访111 months，限制疲劳的累积发病率为31.1%的男性和42.1%的女性。限制性疲劳的总发生率为6.7/1000人月（女性为7.8，男性为4.4，P
ObjectivesTo estimate the rate of restricting fatigue in community-living older adults and to determine whether the rates differ according to age, sex, race, physical frailty, and depression.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingGreater New Haven, Connecticut.ParticipantsNondisabled community-living older men and women aged 70 and older (N=754).MeasurementsRestricting fatigue was defined as staying in bed for at least half the day and/or cutting down on one's usual activities because of fatigue for 3 consecutive months or longer. Physical frailty was defined on the basis of slow gait speed, and depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 111months, the cumulative incidence of restricting fatigue was 31.1% for men and 42.1% for women. The overall incidence rate of restricting fatigue was 6.7 per 1,000 person-months (7.8 for women and 4.4 for men, P
