The LTC Needs of an Aging Population of Taiwan survey (LTCNAPTS) reported a DR of 14.95% in 2010, whereas the Taiwan Census estimate was 12.67%. The present study analyzed the Taiwan Longitudinal Study of Aging (TLSA) to verify which survey provides the most accurate DR. Methods: This study used TLSA results from 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2011 to estimate the DRs and trends among older adults (aged 50 years and older), including the crude, weighted, and adjusted DRs for the reference groups from 2003,2007, and 2011, stratified by sex and age. Results: The TLSA DRs were 12.14%-18.59% and 16.50%-22.91% in 2007 and 2011, respectively. These rates most closely resemble those of the LTCNAPTS. Women had higher DRs than men, and DRs increased annually. In 2010-2011, DRs among the 50-year-old age bracket increased more drastically than those of the 65-year-old age bracket, and this trend held true for other years as well. The number of Taiwanese older adults with disabilities increased 2-4-fold over the past 20 years, whereas DRs in foreign countries plateaued. Conclusions: This study validates the TLSA as an effective third database and corroborates the DR reported by the LTCNAPTS. New datasets and precise models can be used to predict DRs based on disability levels after LTC 2.0. Preventing disability, especially among the middle-aged population, should be a priority. |
