项目摘要

Arthritis is the leading chronic condition in mid and late life. In health interview data, its prevalence exceeds all other chronic diseases and impairments, and it is the most frequently named reason for social limitations. This SERCA develops a foundation for research on osteoarthritis, the principal arthropathy, that joins the P.I. (a social demographer) with medical colleagues. The application is for renewal of a current SERCA (1987-90) for 2 years (1990-92) for the P.I. to complete biomedical training in the rheumatic diseases, to continue developing professional ties with rheumatologists and bone&joint radiologists and translate those ties into formal research collaboration, and to complete a pilot project on osteoarthritis and its impact on musculoskeletal and social functioning started in SERCA Year 02. (1) Prior to the SERCA, the P.I. had no academic knowledge or research experience in arthritis, and little background in disability, the central outcome for nonfatal conditions. Years 01-03 were devoted to formal training in the rheumatic diseases, acquaintances with rheumatologists interested in osteoarthritis and functional assessment, securing grant support for a pilot project on osteoarthritis (hands, knees) and associated disability, and conducting the project in 2 sites (a rheumatology clientele and a geriatric clientele). (2) This application states goals for Years 04-05 that were not proposed or feasible for Years 01-03; they directly extend activities to date and fit the SERCA program's intent. The education component will focus on the issue of natural aging versus osteoarthritic changes in cartilage and underlying bone, and on new imaging techniques for measuring osteoarthritis. Professional activities will include visits to several Multipurpose Arthritis Centers to be exposed to diverse views of research needs and approaches among medical and social scientists. In the research component, a pilot project data will be analyzed and then used to design and propose for funding a full scale population-based survey. The P.I.'s ultimate goal through the SERCA is to develop genuine collaborative ties with medical faculty and practitioners--relationships that involve nonstop curiosity and learning on all sides, and strong true interdependence in research design, data collection, and analysis. The P.I. is a mid-career social scientist (PhD, Sociology, 1974) with extensive research experience using national and community health survey data. The Institute of Gerontology and The University of Michigan provide excellent intellectual resources in the social and medical sciences.

关节炎是中晚年主要的慢性疾病。身体健康访谈数据显示，其患病率超过所有其他慢性病，障碍，这是最常见的社交原因限制。该 SERCA 为以下方面的研究奠定了基础：骨关节炎是主要的关节病，与 P.I. 相关。（一个社会人口统计学家）与医学同事。该申请是为了更新现任 SERCA (1987-90) 两年 (1990-92) 为 P.I.完成风湿病生物医学培训，继续发展与风湿病学家和骨关节放射科医生的专业联系将这些联系转化为正式的研究合作，并完成关于骨关节炎及其对肌肉骨骼和健康影响的试点项目社会功能于 SERCA 第 02 年开始。 (1) 在 SERCA 之前， P.I.没有关节炎方面的学术知识或研究经验，并且残疾的背景很少，而残疾是非致命性的主要结果状况。 01-03年级致力于风湿病的正式培训疾病、结识对骨关节炎感兴趣的风湿病专家和功能评估，为试点项目争取拨款支持骨关节炎（手、膝盖）和相关的残疾，并进行项目在 2 个地点（风湿病客户和老年客户）。 (2) 本申请陈述了未提议的 04-05 年目标或 01-03 年可行；他们直接将活动延伸到日期和适合 SERCA 计划的意图。教育部分将重点关注自然衰老与软骨骨关节炎变化的问题底层骨骼，以及用于测量的新成像技术骨关节炎。专业活动将包括参观几个多用途关节炎中心将接触到不同的研究观点医学和社会科学家的需求和方法。在研究中组件，将对试点项目数据进行分析，然后用于设计并提议资助一项全面的人口调查。私家侦探 (P.I.) 通过 SERCA 的最终目标是发展真正的合作关系与医学院和从业者的关系——不间断的关系各方面的好奇心和学习能力，以及强烈的真正的相互依赖研究设计、数据收集和分析。 P.I.是职业生涯中期具有丰富研究经验的社会科学家（社会学博士，1974年）使用国家和社区健康调查数据。研究所老年学和密歇根大学提供优秀的智力社会科学和医学科学资源。
