目标。我们试图确定，在老年人(65岁)中，他们的基本需求没有得到满足的看法是否会增加死亡风险，以及这种风险是否会因种族/民族而异。我们使用COX比例风险模型来估计一个人在基本需求(收入充足、住房质量和社区安全)得到满足方面的感知不足对10年死亡率的影响。在控制了基线时的年龄、性别、种族/民族、婚姻状况、教育程度、收入以及认知和功能状态后，基本需求得到满足的感知不足被证明是死亡率的显著预测因素(P
Objectives. We sought to determine whether, among older adults (>65 years), a perception that their basic needs are not being met increased mortality risk and whether this risk varied by race/ethnicity.Methods. We used Cox proportional hazards modeling to estimate the effect of perceived inadequacy in having one's basic needs (adequacy of income, quality of housing, and neighborhood safety) met on 10-year mortality rates.Results. After control for age, gender, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, income, and cognitive and functional status at baseline, perceived inadequacy in having one's basic needs met was shown to be a significant predictor of mortality (P
