摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper provides a profile of a representative sample of informal carers drawn from a suburban population selected randomly from the electoral register in the inner southern area of Adelaide, South Australia. The data were collected through a mailed questionnaire survey which achieved a response rate of 71.7%. (n=1765). 13.4% (n=236) of the population defined themselves as having an unpaid carer's role. Of these 70 were resident carers and 166 non‐resident carers.Most carers were women and were significantly older than the general population. Compared with non‐resident carers, resident carers were disadvantaged in terms of income, housing, access to transport and social support, and reported significantly worse health status as indicated by a number of measures including the Nottingham Health Profile.

Future research should focus on establishing the efficacy of interventions in either unselected populations or in individuals who have a clearly described selection proces

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study examines the participation in active and passive recreational activities among elderly Australians classified by cardiovascular status. The findings suggest that when an elderly person has a treated cardiovascular condition his/her participation in such activities does not differ from those who have no cardiovascular condition. It is also suggested, independent of cardiovascular status, that males belong to more clubs than females.
