註釋The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) includes three cohorts of women (born in 1921-26, 1946-51, 1973-78) who have been repeatedly surveyed since 1996, and a new cohort (born in 1989-95) first surveyed in 2013. The survey data are linked to Medical Benefits Scheme(MBS), Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme(PBS), and hospital inpatient data, providing information on healthcareuse, aged care data for women in the oldest cohort, and mortality data. The data provided by the women have been widely used to assess their health status and behavioural and sociodemographiccharacteristics that may affect health. This report uses ALSWH data to identify expected trends in health status, health risks, and behaviours over the next two decades, and to compare trends across cohorts. Analysis of linked data on key health service use for women with different health and social needs provides an indication of potential service burden. The report also examines projected health disparities between women with different sociodemographic characteristics."--Executive summary.
