通过Katz日常生活活动指数（ADL）测量的75岁以上残疾患病率在三个出生队列中进行了比较：1903年出生的人（n = 348），1913年出生的人（n = 586）和1923年出生的人（n = 758）。残疾的重要风险因素是女性性别和年龄;队列效应不显着。第一、第二和第三队列的残疾患病率分别为29.0%（95% CI 24.2-33.8）、34.8%（30.9-38.7）和28.8%（25.5-32.0）。在75-79岁年龄组中，发生率分别为20.1%（95% CI 13.8-26.4）、25.5%（20.2-30.7）和14.4%（10.6-18.1）。这一变化是由于妇女残疾人数减少。基于ADL限制的数量，三个队列的分布没有差异。就整个老年人口而言，寿命的延长并没有伴随着健康的改善。(C)2001 Elsevier Science Inc.所有的战斗保留。
The prevalence of disability at the age of 75 + measured by the Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) was compared among three birth cohorts: those born less than or equal to 1903 (n = 348), those born less than or equal to 1913 (n = 586), and those born less than or equal to 1923 (n = 758). Significant risk factors for disability were female sex and age; the cohort effect was not significant. The prevalence rates of disability were 29.0% (95% CI 24.2-33.8), 34.8% (30.9-38.7), and 28.8% (25.5-32.0) for the first, second, and third cohorts. In the age group 75-79 years the rates were 20.1% (95% Cl 13.8-26.4), 25.5% (20.2-30.7), and 14.4% (10.6-18.1). The change was due to the declining disability of women. The distributions in the three cohorts based on the numbers of ADL limitations did not differ. As far as the whole aged populations were concerned, longer life was not accompanied by improving health. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All fights reserved.
