这项研究调查了 126,685 名年龄在 65 岁或以上的男性和女性的身心健康状况，这些男性和女性在 1998 年至 2002 年间完成了医疗保险健康结果调查 (MHOS)，无论是否患有癌症。癌症信息通过美国国家癌症研究所 (NCI) 的监测、流行病学和最终结果 (SEER) 计划确定，并与 MHOS 数据相关联。结果表明，在大多数癌症类型中，与非癌症患者相比，癌症患者报告的合并症明显更多，身心健康状况更差。负相关在患有两种或两种以上合并症的患者以及在过去一年内被诊断患有癌症的患者中最为明显。
This study examined the physical and mental health of 126,685 males and females age 65 or over, with and without cancer that completed a Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) between 1998-2002. Cancer information was ascertained through the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program and linked to MHOS data. Results indicated that across most cancer types, cancer patients reported significantly more comorbid conditions and poorer physical and mental health compared with patients without cancer. Negative associations were most pronounced in those with two or more comorbidities and in those diagnosed with cancer within the past year.
