这项研究旨在验证先前定义的具有视觉、听觉或其他损害的老年工人的职业伤害风险模型。该模型基于健康和退休研究(HRS)。以前的Logistic回归模型是使用1994年全国健康访谈调查(NHIS)的数据重新计算的。听力受损(NHIS为1.81，HRS为1.55)、视力受损(NHIS为2.42，HRS为1.48)和自谋职业(NHIS为0.22，HRS为0.49)的参数估计方向相同，幅度大致相同。使用NHIS数据对先前定义的模型进行了确认。数据表明，随着劳动力年龄的增长，必须更多地关注残疾人士在工作场所的适应情况，特别是感官障碍-视力和听力不良。
This study aims to validate a previously defined model of the risk of occupational injuries among older workers with visual, auditory, or other impairments. That model was based upon the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The previous logistic regression model was recalculated using data from the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The parameter estimates for impaired hearing (1.81 in NHIS, 1.55 in HRS), impaired vision (2.42 in NHIS, 1.48 in HRS), and self-employment (0.22 in NHIS, 0.49 in HRS) were in same direction and of roughly the same magnitude. The previously defined model was confirmed using NHIS data. The data suggest that as the workforce ages, more attention must be paid to the accommodation of disabilities in the workplace, especially sensory impairments-poor vision and hearing.
