为了提供有关美国家庭中混乱或记忆丧失 (ICML) 增加的影响的信息，我们使用 2011 年行为风险因素监测系统 (BRFSS) 数据描述了主要受访者关于其家庭中另一人经历 ICML 的报告（代理报告）。我们使用了关于所需援助类型、对日常活动功能的影响以及是否与医疗保健专业人员讨论混乱或记忆问题的代理报告，并按 ICML 家庭成员的年龄（18-50 岁 vs ≥65 岁）进行分层。约 3%（n = 3,075 户）的主要受访者表示与患有 ICML 的家庭成员住在一起；其中 75% 的家庭成员需要某种类型的帮助，近 60% 的家庭成员曾与医疗保健专业人员讨论过 ICML。收集家庭中个人的代理数据可能有助于更清楚地了解认知能力下降的人的特征以及个人和家庭的潜在需求。
To provide information about the effects of increased confusion or memory loss (ICML) in households in the United States, we describe primary respondents’ reports (proxy reports) about another person in their household experiencing ICML, using 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data. We used proxy reports on type of assistance needed, effects on functioning in daily activities, and whether confusion or memory was discussed with a health care professional, stratifying by age of the household member with ICML (18–50 y vs ≥65 y). About 3% (n = 3,075 households) of primary respondents reported living with a household member with ICML; 75% of these household members needed some type of assistance, and nearly 60% had discussed ICML with a health care professional. Collecting proxy data about individuals in households may help paint a clearer picture of the characteristics of those experiencing cognitive decline and the potential needs of individuals and families.
