这项研究的重点是健康状况的性别差异，并检查哪些健康状况导致荷兰65岁及以上男女剩余预期寿命的性别差异。来自阿姆斯特丹纵向老化研究的前两个周期的数据（分别为n = 2，141和1，659）用于计算65-85岁个体的健康状况。对于女性和男性，发现了六个轮廓：I。癌症; II.“其他”慢性疾病; III.认知障碍; IV.虚弱或多发性硬化; V.心血管疾病;和VI.身体健康。这些类型的进一步表征显示出一些性别差异。在每一健康概况中，妇女的剩余预期寿命都大于男子。对健康预期的分解表明，妇女和男子从66岁起都可以预期健康地活5年左右。在概况四和概况三中，在有健康问题的年数方面，性别差异最大。她们在这些健康状况中度过的更多年数对妇女所需护理的类型和费用有直接影响。(C)出版社：The Haworth Press，Inc.

This study focuses on gender differences in health profiles, and examines which health profiles drive gender differences in remaining life expectancy in women and men aged 65 and over in The Netherlands. Data from the first two cycles of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (n = 2,141 and 1,659, respectively) were used to calculate health profiles for individuals of 65-85 years. For both women and men, six profiles were found: I. cancer; II. "other" chronic diseases; III. cognitive impairment; IV. frailty or multimorbidity; V. cardiovascular diseases; and VI. good health. The further characterization of these types showed some gender, differences. Remaining life expectancy for women was greater than for men in each health profile. A decomposition into health expectancies showed that both women and men could expect to live about 5 years in good health from age 66. The greatest gender differences in years spent with health problems were found for profile IV and for profile III. Their greater number of years spent in these health states have direct consequences for the type and cost of care women need. (C) 2002 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
