目的:描述通辽市社区居民老年期痴呆流行病学调查的抽样设计、权重计算、调查工具、现场执行及质量控制方案.方法:采用三阶段不等概率抽样设计在内蒙古自治区通辽市调查65岁及以上的常住居民,采用10/66老年期痴呆系列研究(10/66 Dementia Research Group,10/66 DRG)评估工具获得老年期痴呆的疾病诊断,以计算机辅助个人访谈模式开展调查,并实施调查全程及时质量控制措施.结果:在通辽市9个旗/县/市/区的166个嘎查/村/居中共调查老人4 345人,应答率为96.2%.计算抽样设计权数、无应答调整权数和事后分层调整权数后,将上述权数相乘并进行极值调整和标化调整,从而获得最终权数.171名访员接受培训,考核合格后开展入户调查,并采用计算机数据核查、录音核查和电话核查等质量控制措施,保证调查的真实性.结论:本调查采用严格的抽样设计和质量控制措施实施调查,并采用国际效度和信度满意的10/66 DRG评估工具作为调查工具,具有国际跨文化可比性,可以为国内其他地区开展老年期痴呆流行病学调查提供方法学参考.
Design and implementation of epidemiological survey on dementia in community residents in Tongliao City
Objective:To describe the detail sampling design,weighting,instruments,filed procedures and quality control methods of the epidemiological survey on dementia among community residents in Tongliao City.Methods:A three-stage disproportionate probability sampling design was used to investigate the inhabitants aged 65 years and over in Tongliao City,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.The 10/66 Dementia Research Group(10/66 DRG)assessment instruments were used to diagnose dementia,using computer-assisted personal interview mode in the selected older people.Comprehensive quality control methods were implemented throughout the field-work.Results:A total of 166 villages or communities were sampled from nine counties or districts in Tongliao Cit-y.Totally 4 345 older people were interviewed with 96.2%response rate.By calculating sampling design weights,non-response adjustment weights and post-stratification adjustment weights,these weights were multiplied and per-formed trimming adjustment and standardization adjustment to generate final weights.The 171 interviewers were well-trained and qualified to carry out filed interview.Quality control methods included computer data check,audio record check,and telephone check in order to ensure the quality of the survey.Conclusion:This survey is imple-mented using a rigorous sampling design and timely quality control methods,and uses the 10/66 DRG assessment instruments with satisfactory international validity and reliability as survey instruments,which has international cross-cultural comparability.It provides a valid and feasible methodology of epidemiological survey on dementia for further studies in different regions in China.
