背景：近年来，补充和替代医学 (CAM) 的使用有所增加。目的：本研究的目的是确定 CAM 在诊断为慢性病的人群中的使用情况。设计：使用横断面分析。背景：以 2002 年全国健康访谈调查为背景。患者：参与者代表 18 岁及以上的非机构化美国人口。测量：受访者回答了有关使用 CAM 和医生诊断的关节炎、癌症、心血管疾病、糖尿病和肺病的问题。结果：与没有任何报告的慢性病的成年人相比，患有慢性疾病的成年人更有可能使用 CAM。仅患有关节炎的成年人最有可能报告曾使用过 CAM (59.6%)，其次是仅患有癌症或肺病或两种或两种以上慢性疾病的成年人 (55%)、患有心血管疾病的成年人 (46.4%)、没有慢性疾病的成年人 (43.6%) 和仅患有糖尿病的成年人 (41.4%)。患有慢性疾病的成年人也更有可能在过去 12 个月内使用 CAM（32% 至 43.3%），其次是没有这些慢性疾病的成年人（32%），以及仅患有糖尿病的成年人（26.2%）。在过去 12 个月中，只有不到 30% 的 CAM 用户与他们的医疗保健专业人员谈论过 CAM 的使用。局限性：有关 CAM 使用的信息基于自我报告。结论：CAM 的使用，特别是基于生物的 CAM 疗法，很常见，并且更有可能被慢性病患者使用。
Background: Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has increased in recent years.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the use of CAM among people with diagnosed chronic diseases. Design: Cross-sectional analysis was used.Setting: The 2002 National Health Interview Survey was the setting.Patients: Participants were representative of the noninstitutionalized U.S. population 18 years and older.Measurements: Respondents answered questions about use of CAM and physician-diagnosed arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and lung disease.Results: Adults with diagnosed chronic diseases are more likely to use CAM compared to adults with none of the reported chronic diseases. Adults with arthritis alone were most likely to report ever use of CAM (59.6%) followed by adults with cancer or lung disease alone or two or more chronic diseases (55%), adults with cardiovascular disease (46.4%), and adults with no chronic diseases (43.6%) and diabetes alone (41.4%). Adults with chronic diseases were also more likely to report use of CAM in the past 12 months (32% to 43.3%), followed by adults with none of these chronic diseases (32%), and adults with diabetes alone (26.2%). Less than 30% of CAM users in the past 12 months reported talking to their healthcare professional about CAM use.Limitations: Information about CAM use is based on self-report.Conclusions: Use of CAM, particularly biologically based CAM therapies, is common and is more likely to be used by those with chronic diseases.
