With the aging of Australia's population, more attention is being paid to the impact of nonfatal, disabling, age-related medical conditions such as arthritis. We report the results of a population-based survey which asked a range of questions relating to arthritis and the disadvantages associated with living with the disease.

Alistair MacLennan http://works.bepress.com/anne_taylor/118 http://works.bepress.com/anne_taylor/118 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:06:41 PDT Many Australians may be taking alternative medicines and consulting alternative medicine practitioners. Overall, 3,004 randomly-selected adult residents of South Australia responded to a 1993 survey of health habits. One-half reported using herbal, homeopathic or Chinese medicines, aromatherapy, or vitamin or health supplements. Respondents taking alternative medicines tended to be young, employed, normal-weight women with higher education who exercised regularly and drank to excess. One-fifth of respondents reported visiting a chiropractor, naturopath, homeopath, aromatherapist, acupuncturist, osteopath, reflexologist or other alternative practitioner. Of these, most reported consulting a chiropractor. A H.

The 1994 South Australian Health Omnibus Survey (a population health interview survey) was used to administer the short form-36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) to users and non-users of HRT. A representative sample of 813 women aged 40 years and older were interviewed. D H.
