美国老年人的残疾程度是增加了还是减少了？不健康的体重急剧增加，但其他数据显示残疾率有所下降。我们使用健康和退休研究的数据来估计肥胖和残疾之间的关联，并将这些数据与行为风险因素监测调查的肥胖率趋势估计相结合。如果目前的肥胖趋势继续下去，50-69岁年龄组的残疾率将比没有进一步体重增加的情况下每年增加1%。
Are older Americans becoming more or less disabled? Unhealthy body weight has increased dramatically, but other data show that disability rates have declined. We use data from the Health and Retirement Study to estimate the association between obesity and disability, and we combine these data with trend estimates of obesity rates from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey. If current trends in obesity continue, disability rates will increase by 1 percent per year more in the 50-69 age group than if there were no further weight gain.
