Abstract

Background Many studies that show improved health in older adults have relied on subjective measures of health. This article assesses changes in the physiological status of older Americans during the 1990s using biological measures of high-risk for morbidity and mortality. Methods Changes in the prevalence of clinically-defined, high risk for 10 biological markers were assessed in respondents age 65 years and older from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) III (1988-1994) and IV (1999-2000). Results Some changes in prevalence of high-risk values of biological markers indicate improved health among older adults in the 1990s: a 6% reduction in the prevalence of high-risk total cholesterol (p Conclusions Changes in the prevalence of high-risk values of biological markers in the 1990s are mixed. Greater use and effectiveness of lipid-lowering medication has contributed to the reduction in percentage of the population with high-risk lipid levels, and folate supplementation accounted for a decline in the percentage with high-risk homocysteine. However, increases in the percentage with high-risk systolic blood pressure occurred despite an increase in the use of antihypertensive medications, in part because of the limited ability of antihypertensive medications to bring blood pressure below high-risk levels.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
