| 摘要: | Introduction. Co-morbidity is an important dimension of health status in older adults because the concurrent presence of co-morbidity is prevalent. Co-morbid illness may modify the primary factor of interest, and co-morbidity itself may also independently be a risk factor for adverse outcomes. The objectives of the present study are to examine the association of cardiocerebrovascular diseases and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a Chinese, community-based elderly population and to examine whether the existence of the co-morbidity will modify these associations. Methods. All elders aged 65 and over who resided in Chung-Shing-Shin-Tseun, Taiwan were recruited with an overall response rate of 89.13% (n=921) in 1998. Face-to-fact interviews were used to collect information. An elder had any cardiocerebrovascular diseases if he/she had been diagnosed as having heart disease, hypertension, stroke, or diabetes. HRQoL was measured by SF-36. The co-morbidity consisted of eye, pulmonary, and musculo-skeletal disorders, ulcer and liver disease and other disease, and anemia. Results. After controlling for the effects of age, gender, and co-morbidity, the estimated effect of cardiocerebrovascular diseases on all subscales was negative except mental health and role limitations due to emotional problems, often as much as a 5-10 point reduction on this 100-point scale. Co-morbidity exerts independent effect on physical functioning, role limitation due to physical and emotional problems, and mental health. On the other hand, the existence of musculo-skeletal disorder enhance the effect of cardiocerebrovascular diseases on pain; eye disorder on general perception of health and vitality; and other diseases on social function. |
