(Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract) In the decades to come, the aging of the baby boomers will lead to the greying of the U.S. workforce: by 2005, the mean age of the workforce will have increased by five years. In order to maintain productivity, there will be a need to ask more from older workers. However, there are already data which suggest that older workers are at increased risk for serious occupational injuries. As the workforce ages in the beginning of the 21st century, the problem of occupational injuries among older workers will loom increasingly large. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is a longitudinal study of a representative cohort of 12,654 Americans between the ages of 51 and 61 years. Enriched for African-Americans and Hispanics, the study aims to provide policy makers with information about the changes in retirement and disability patterns and to provide the scientific community with data needed to generate more accurate models of the retirement process. To accomplish these goals, the HRS will use personal and telephone interviews to collect a rich and varied dataset on each participant over the next 20 years including work status; demographic; health variables such as physical function, subjective global ratings, effective and cognitive function, smoking and alcohol consumption; and job related characteristics such as industry, occupation and job satisfaction. Here, the investigator proposes a secondary analysis of the HRS data concerning occupational injury in the first two interviews (1992 and 1994).He aims to evaluate the validity of self-reported occupational injuries in the 1992 interviews; to model occupational injuries among older workers using 1992 data; to assess the stability of risk factors for occupational injury among older workers by comparing the HRS 1992 data with 1994 data; and to use the 1994 HRS occupational injury data to carryout a prospective validation of the multivariate model developed on the cross-sectional data of 1992. The results of these studies can be expected to lead to new prevention strategies for occupational injuries among older workers.

(改编自《调查者摘要》)在未来的几十年里， 婴儿潮一代的老龄化将导致美国老龄化。 劳动力：到2005年，劳动力的平均年龄将增加 五年了。为了保持生产力，将有必要 向年长的工人提出更高的要求。然而，已经有数据显示 表明年龄较大的工人患严重疾病的风险增加 职业伤害。随着劳动力在经济衰退初期的老龄化 21世纪，老年工人的职业伤害问题 将变得越来越大。健康和退休研究(HRS)是 一项对12654名美国人代表性队列的纵向研究 年龄在51岁到61岁之间。为非洲裔美国人和 拉美裔，这项研究旨在为政策制定者提供信息 关于退休和残疾模式的变化，并提供 科学界需要的数据才能产生更准确的数据 退休过程的典范。为了实现这些目标，HRS 将通过个人和电话采访收集丰富多样的 未来20年每个参与者的数据集，包括工作 状态；人口统计；健康变量，如身体功能， 主观全球评级、有效和认知功能、吸烟和 饮酒；以及与工作相关的特征，如工业， 职业和工作满意度。在这里，调查员提出了一种 湖北省职业伤害HRS资料的二次分析 前两次面试(1992和1994)。他的目标是评估有效性 在1992年的访谈中自我报告的职业伤害的情况； 使用1992年的数据对老年工人的职业伤害进行评估 大龄工人职业伤害危险因素的稳定性 将1992年的HRS数据与1994年的数据进行比较；并使用1994年的HRS数据 职业伤害数据将进行前瞻性验证 根据1992年的横断面数据建立了多元模型。这个 这些研究的结果有望导致新的预防措施 老年工人职业伤害的应对策略。
