国内外很多报道指出,全民结核病患病率及死亡率明显下降的同时,50岁以上的老年人的患病率及死亡率下降得很慢,屍体解剖中老年人结核的比例与防治所老年结核登记率均在增加。自1958年以来,我科所管辖地段范围内50岁以上老年肺结核病人逐年登记率也有上升趋势。为引起对老年人肺结核的重视,本文仅就此作初步分析。 Many reports at home and abroad point out that while the prevalence and mortality rate of TB in all of China have dropped markedly, the prevalence and mortality of elderly people aged over 50 have declined very slowly. The proportion of elderly people with TB in the autopsy is similar to that of the elderly TB Registration rates are on the rise. Since 1958, the yearly enrollment rate of elderly TB patients over the age of 50 has also been on the rise in the areas under our jurisdiction. In order to arouse the importance of tuberculosis in the elderly, this article only makes a preliminary analysis.
