The Burden of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Seniors: Results of a Population-Based Study 2004-12-01 .txt text/plain 3625 168 44 To estimate rates of community-acquired pneumonia and to identify risk factors for this disease, we conducted a large, population-based cohort study of persons aged ⩾65 years that included both hospitalizations and outpatient visits for pneumonia. In multivariate analysis, age, male sex, current smoking, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, lung cancer, serious nonlung cancer, COPD, asthma without COPD, dementia, stroke, receipt of prednisone, use of home oxygen services, greater number of outpatient visits, and hospitalization for pneumonia in the year prior to the study start date were independently associated with risk of all CAP (table 3) . A population-based study involving 4175 elderly persons in Finland found that crude CAP rates did not differ between men and women and that male sex was not significantly associated with CAP after accounting for age and certain chronic medical conditions and risk factors, including asthma, receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, and heart disease [21] . ./cache/cord-335691-lsuwsm43.txt ./txt/cord-335691-lsuwsm43.txt
