The research goal is to identify factors associated with the maintenance of good health and well-being among women as they age. The study examines differences in the life histories and life patterns of women in different age groups and how these factors relate to health outcomes among the age groups or cohorts. The study uses social, sociopsychological, and demographic data from a household interview survey conducted in 1970-71, a 1982 follow-up survey, and computerized medical record data beginning three years prior to the 1970-71 survey and continuing to the present. The study has two interrelated sets of aims. The first set will be achieved using essentially a cross-sectional research design, while the second set uses a longitudinal or panel design. The first set of aims: 1) to examine cohort differences in family history, demographic characteristics, adult role sets, health beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors; 2) to assess the relationship of these variables to health outcomes within each cohort; and 3) to assess the possible independent, additive, or multiplicative nature of the relationship of these variables to health outcome. The second set of aims are: 1) to assess changes in role sets and attributes to roles including continuity of roles and relationships for each cohort in the decade between the surveys; 2) to assess the effect of these roles and relationship changes on health outcomes among the cohorts; 3) to incorporate findings from the analysis for the first set of aims regarding variables influential in health outcomes; and 4) to identify important intervening variables which may modify the health effects of particular independent variables. The study population is a 5 percent sample of female members of large HMO who in 1970 were age 25 or older. This sample of 1,189 women is divided into three age cohorts for the study. The basic approach to the analysis begins with an examination of bivariate relationships and moves towards multivariate assessments. The independent variables include categorical and ordinal level measures, while the dependent variables include ordinal and interval measures. For purposes of examining bivariate relationships which include categorical and ordinal variables, nonparametric statistics will be used. Where interal level dependent variables are examined analysis of variance will be used. When the objective is to determine the separate and combined effects of the independent variables on the dependent variables, multivariate techniques such as log linear models for multidimensional contingency tables and/or multiple regression and discriminant analysis will be used. The study will be the basis for more specialized studies, including later examination of these same subjects as they advance through the life cycle (since, as members of a panel, medical data will continue to be collected on them).

研究的目的是确定与维持 随着年龄的增长，妇女的健康和福祉。 该研究探讨 不同地区妇女的生活史和生活模式的差异 年龄组以及这些因素与年龄组健康结果的关系 组或队列。 这项研究使用了社会，社会心理学， 1970-71年进行的住户访问调查的人口数据， 1982年随访调查，并开始将病历资料电算化 1970- 1971年调查之前的几年，一直持续到现在。 研究 有两套相互关联的目标。 第一组将使用 基本上是一个横截面的研究设计，而第二套使用一个 纵向或面板设计。 第一组目标：1）检查队列 家族史、人口统计学特征、成人角色的差异 集，健康信念，态度和行为; 2）评估 这些变量与每个队列内健康结果的关系;以及 3)评估可能的独立性、附加性或倍增性 这些变量与健康结果的关系。 第二组 目的是：1）评估角色集和角色属性的变化 包括每个群体在联合国系统中的作用和关系的连续性， （2）评估这些作用的影响， 队列之间健康结果的关系变化; 3） 纳入对第一组目标的分析结果， 影响健康结果的变量;以及4）确定重要的 干预变量可能会改变特定的健康影响， 独立变量 研究人群是5%的样本， 1970年时年龄在25岁或以上的大型HMO女性成员。 该样品 1,189名妇女被分为三个年龄组进行研究。 基本 分析方法从检查双变量开始 关系和走向多元评估。 独立 变量包括分类和顺序水平的措施，而 因变量包括顺序和区间测量。 为了 检查二元关系，包括分类和顺序 变量，将使用非参数统计。 其中， 将使用方差分析检查因变量。 当 目的是确定这些因素的单独和综合影响， 自变量对因变量，多元技术 例如用于多维列联表对数线性模型和/或 将使用多元回归和判别分析。 这项研究将 作为更专门研究的基础，包括以后对 这些相同的主题，因为他们通过生命周期的进展（因为，作为 （如果是小组成员，将继续收集他们的医疗数据）。
