随着人类预期寿命的延长,老年结核患者数目不断上升。本文作者通过比较香港、英格兰、威尔士三地的患病数据后发现:不同年代出生的人群,在不同年龄段的患病率呈现出一种特殊现象。 结果表明 三地的结核患病率都呈逐年下降趋势。英格兰、威尔士从1954～1968年每年下降率为9％。香港下降稍慢一些,并且香港结核患病率远较英国高(男:8～15倍;女:6～10倍)。不同年代出生人群的患病率随年龄增长而变化的规律大致相同:经过患病率高峰期(香港为25～39
As human life expectancy has soared, the number of older tuberculosis patients continues to rise. By comparing the prevalence data of Hong Kong, England and Wales, the authors found that the prevalence of different age groups shows a special phenomenon among people born at different ages. The results showed that the prevalence of tuberculosis in the three places showed a declining trend year by year. England, Wales from 1954 to 1968 annual rate of decline of 9%.
