从1995年至今，瑞典阿格里亚动物保险公司（瑞典斯德哥尔摩阿格里亚久尔福萨克林）为描述性和分析性研究提供了关于医疗保健和人寿保险索赔的数据。从这些数据中，我们已经发表了大量关于投保狗和马的研究，最近还提交了一项关于猫死亡率的研究。在最广泛的研究期间（1995-2002年为狗，1997-2004年为马，1999-2006年为猫），Agris每年为大约200，000只狗，100，000匹马和多达200，000只猫投保。根据正式研究或市场调查的估计，阿格里亚保险约40%的瑞典狗和马种群和50%的纯种猫种群。在动物保险被广泛接受的地方，农业保险的人口很可能代表全国人口。本文重点介绍疾病的年龄模式，品种和性别之间的差异，身体系统和疾病的过程和随时间的变化。多年来，狗和猫的存活率的增加无疑受到主人、社会和兽医因素的影响，这些因素与获得和继续兽医护理的可用性、意愿和能力有关。此外，不同品种之间生存率的显著差异表明，在健康、疾病和寿命方面对人类和伴侣动物进行比较时，必须考虑这些复杂性。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
From 1995 to the present Agria Animal Insurance, Sweden (Agria Djurforsakring, Stockholm, Sweden) has provided data on both health care and life insurance claims for descriptive and analytical research. From these data we have published extensively on insured dogs and horses and have recently submitted a study on cat mortality. Over the periods studied most extensively (1995-2002 for dogs, 1997-2004 for horses and 1999-2006 for cats), Agris has insured approximately 200,000 dogs, 100,000 horses and up to 200,000 cats per year. Estimates based on formal research or market surveys suggest that Agria insures approximately 40% of both the Swedish dog and horse populations and 50% of the purebred cat population. Where animal insurance is so widely embraced, the Agria-insured populations are likely to be representative of the national population. This paper focuses on age patterns of disease, differences between breeds and genders, body system and disease process and changes over time. An increase in survival over the years for dogs and cats is undoubtedly affected by owner, societal and veterinary factors relative to the availability of, and willingness and ability to access, and continue, veterinary care. In addition, marked differences in survival across breeds suggest that comparisons between people and companion animals in terms of health, disease and longevity must consider these complexities.
