这项研究链接的调查数据，从一个大概率的加拿大省的老年人口与省级保险数据记录他们所有的医疗保健使用之前和之后的采访。数据显示，“老年人”不是医疗保健系统的高使用者。相反，65岁及65岁以上的人中有一小部分人在服务利用率中占了不成比例的大部分。该研究还确定了高医疗保健使用的几个预测因素，并讨论了其调查结果对医疗保健政策，实践和研究的影响。
This research links survey data from a large probability sample of the elderly population of one Canadian province with provincial insurance data documenting all their health care use during the years before and after the interview. The data show that “the elderly” are not high users of the health care system. Instead, a small proportion of those age 65 and older account for a disproportionately large share of service utilization. The study also identifies several predictors of high health-care use and discusses the implications of its findings for health care policy, practice, and research.
