对1990年全国健康访谈调查和辅助装置补充调查中老年人（bb0 - 65岁）的回答进行分析，以确定选定的人口统计学和健康变量是否与辅助装置的使用、多种装置的使用以及对此类装置的明确需求有关。双变量和多变量分析表明，总体而言，较差的健康状况始终与辅助装置的使用、多种装置的使用和表达的需求有关。然而，人口统计学特征与辅助装置使用和需求的关系各不相同。研究结果支持在研究辅助设备和老年人时考虑多种设备使用和表达需求的重要性。
Responses of older adults (> 65 years) from the 1990 National Health Interview Survey and Assistive Device Supplement are analyzed to determine if selected demographic and health variables are associated with the use of assistive devices, multiple-device use, and the expressed need for such devices. Bivariate and multivariate analyses show that, in general, poorer health is consistently associated with the use of assistive devices, multiple-device use, and expressed need. Demographic characteristics, however, vary in their relationships to assistive device use and need. Findings support the importance of considering multiple-device use and expressed need in studying assistive devices and older adults.
