越来越多的研究人员和健康专家从自我报告中获得有关慢性病的信息。本研究验证了自我报告的两个主要的健康状况，高血压和糖尿病，根据最近的调查在台湾（SEBAS 2000）。这些数据是基于一个具有全国代表性的54岁及以上受访者的大样本，包括自我报告的健康信息和体检。平均血压读数，糖化血红蛋白的实验室测量，以及关于受访者是否服用高血压或糖尿病药物的信息被用来验证受访者的高血压和糖尿病报告。由此产生的比较显示，自我报告大大低估了高血压的患病率，但产生了合理准确的估计糖尿病的患病率。自我报告准确性的重要相关因素包括年龄、教育程度、最近一次健康检查的时间和认知功能。(C)2003年爱思唯尔科学公司All rights reserved.
Increasingly, researchers and health specialists are obtaining information on chronic illnesses from self-reports. This study validates self-reports of two major health conditions, hypertension and diabetes, based on a recent survey in Taiwan (SEBAS 2000). These data, based on a large, nationally representative sample of respondents aged 54 and older, include both self-reported health information and a physical examination. Average blood pressure readings, laboratory measures of glycosylated hemoglobin, and information on whether the respondent was taking medication for hypertension or diabetes are used to validate respondents' reports of high blood pressure and diabetes. The resulting comparisons reveal that self-reports vastly underestimate the prevalence of hypertension, but yield a reasonably accurate estimate of the prevalence of diabetes. Significant correlates of the accuracy of the self-reports include age, education, time of the most recent health exam, and cognitive function. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
