艾滋病发生于任何年龄组,但对老年人群中艾滋病流行病学的研究最近才开始重视。本文报道了艾滋病流行的最新资料和美国老年人群中艾滋病的传播方式。作者回顾了美国1981年6月～1989年12月向CDC报告的艾滋病病例。对老年人群(≥50岁)的诊断病例数和比例按报告的年份进行了分析,并且与13～49岁的人群就有关性别、种族的分布及HIV的传播方式等方面进行了比较。老年艾滋病患者大致分为以下年龄组:50～59岁,60～69岁,≥70岁。结果表明,至1989年12月向CDC报告的≥13岁的艾滋病病例为115786例。其中已诊断的≥50岁的病例为11984人(占10.4％),包括50～59岁组8480例(7.3％),60～69岁组为2741例(2.4％),≥70岁组为763例
AIDS occurs in any age group, but research into the epidemiology of HIV in the elderly has only recently begun to pay attention. This article reports the latest information on the AIDS epidemic and how HIV is transmitted among the elderly in the United States. The authors reviewed the AIDS cases reported to the CDC by the United States between June 1981 and December 1989. The number and proportion of cases diagnosed in the elderly (≥50 years of age) were analyzed by year of reporting and compared with those of 13-49 years of age on gender, ethnicity and HIV transmission. Elderly AIDS patients are broadly divided into the following age groups: 50 to 59 years old, 60 to 69 years old, ≥ 70 years old. The results showed that 115 786 cases of AIDS were reported to the CDC by December 1989 for ≥13 years of age. Of these, 11,984 (10.4%) were diagnosed ≥50 years of age, including 8480 (7.3%) in the 50- to 59-year-old group, 2741 (2.4%) in the 60-69-year-old group and 763 example
