ObjectivesThis study examined differences in the relationship between veteran status and men's trajectory of health conditions，activities of daily living limitations，and self-rated health.MethodsWe use data on 12，631 men drawn from the 1992-2006 waves of the Health and Retirement Study to estimate growth curve models that examined differences in health trajectories between nonveterans and veterans，退伍军人和没有战时服务，战争服务退伍军人谁在第二次世界大战期间，韩国，越南，和多个wars.ResultsThe结果表明，退伍军人有更好的健康在平均年龄为66.2岁，但经历更大的年龄相关的健康变化比nonveterans。同样，在战时服役的男性在平均年龄时的健康状况更好，但与战时未服役的男性相比，与年龄有关的健康变化更多。在战争退伍军人，越南退伍军人是在平均年龄较差的健康状况，但他们的经验较少实质性的年龄相关的健康变化比男子谁在以前的wars.DiscussionAlthough退伍军人经历更好的健康相对于非退伍军人退休年龄左右，他们有较差的健康状况比非退伍军人中最古老的老人。这些研究结果告诉我们的退伍军人-非退伍军人的健康死亡率悖论在以前的研究中发现的理解，并建议退伍军人和非退伍军人在晚年的健康交叉。
ObjectivesThis study examines differences in the relationship between veteran status and men's trajectories of health conditions, activities of daily living limitations, and self-rated health.MethodsWe use data on 12,631 men drawn from the 1992–2006 waves of the Health and Retirement Study to estimate growth curve models that examine differences in health trajectories between nonveterans and veterans, veterans with and without wartime service, and war service veterans who served during World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and multiple wars.ResultsThe results indicate that veterans have better health at the mean age of 66.2 years, but experience greater age-related changes in health than nonveterans. Similarly, men who served during wartime have better health at the mean age, but more age-related changes in health than men who did not serve during wartime. Among war veterans, Vietnam veterans are in poorer health at the mean age, but they experience less substantial age-related health changes than men who served during previous wars.DiscussionAlthough veterans experience better health relative to nonveterans around retirement age, they have poorer health than nonveterans among the oldest old. These findings inform our understanding of the veteran–nonveteran health-mortality paradox found in previous research and suggest a health crossover among veterans and nonveterans in later life.
