Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-1 (January 2009) . - p.269-274 Titre : Administrative Prevalence of autism spectrum disorders based on national disability registers in Taiwan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jin-Ding LIN, Auteur ; Lan-Ping LIN, Auteur ; Jia-Ling WU, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.269-274 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Autism-spectrum-disorders Autism-prevalence Disability-register Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this paper was to describe the over time prevalence of autism from 2000 to 2007 in Taiwan, with particular focus on the age, gender, prevalence and causes. We analyzed data from the public web-access information collected by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of the Interiors, Taipei, Taiwan. The data included: (1) the physically and mentally disabled population by age and severity level; (2) the physically and mentally disabled population by cause; and (3) the Taiwan general population by age. The registered number of people with autism drastically increased from 2062 to 7207 (increase rate = 249.5%), and the male/female ratio of autism was 6.0–6.6 from 2000 to 2007. The autistic cases increased significantly, particularly in children between 6 and 11 years of age, occupying about 43.9–49.5% of the autistic population. The reported prevalence of each age group, aged 0–5 years was 2.4–7.8/10,000, aged 6–11 was 5.0–17.3/10,000, and aged 12–17 years was 2.1–10.4/10,000 from year 2000 to 2007. The main cause of autism was congenital (48.5–58.0%), followed by disease (9.5–31.1%) or other (20.0–32.7%). An increase in prevalence would suggest the need for more attention and funding of services for children with autism.

Aged and dependency ratios among autism, intellectual disability and other disabilities: 10-year trend analysis / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.523-528 Titre : Aged and dependency ratios among autism, intellectual disability and other disabilities: 10-year trend analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jin-Ding LIN, Auteur ; Lan-Ping LIN, Auteur ; Jia-Ling WU, Auteur ; Chang-Lin SUNG, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.523-528 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dependency-ratio Child-dependency-ratio Aged-dependency-ratio Index-of-aging Disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Dependency ratios are useful as general indicators of future economic and social health. The present paper focuses on the description of dependency ratios and over time change in different kind of disability which include autism, intellectual disability, vision, hearing, and limb impairments. We analyzed data mainly from the public web-access information which collected by the Taiwan MOI. We analyzed the national register data in two ways for 2000–2009: the Disabled Population by Aged and Grade and the Taiwan General Population by Age, to examine the dependent ratios in disabilities. The dependency ratio measures the percentage of dependent people (not of working age)/number of people of working age (economically active), and it is decomposed into the child dependency ratio, the aged dependency ratio and index of aging. The results found the aged dependency ratios in general or disabled population were significantly increased in 2000–2009. Vision, hearing and limb disabilities had the higher aging index in all disabilities. Intellectual disability and autistic cases were relatively younger age population than other disabilities. However, the trend test revealed that child dependency ratio in autism decrease significantly as the identified case number increase during the past 10 years. Many reasons were discussed in the context of the trend changes. Finally, the results highlights that the increasing dependency ratio trends revealed that we are facing an aging population, the social security system need to provide for a significantly older and non-working population. The future study should consider the indicators such as the number of people receiving disability benefits or the use of disability-adjusted life years, they would provide more accurate for tracking dependency in the society.

CHU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.509-517 Mots-clés : Low back pain  Musculoskeletal discomfort  Disability  Caregiver  Staff Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aims of the present study were to investigate the prevalence of LBP among institutional caregivers of people with intellectual, autistic or associated multiple disabilities and to examine the risk factors for LBP among this population. A cross-sectional, purposive sampling method was used to recruit into the study 1073 staff who were working in 15 disability welfare institutions. The survey materials included an introduction letter, an informed consent, and a structured questionnaire that queried the participant's demographic and working characteristics, healthy lifestyle, and previous and current LBP experiences. The present study results showed that 63.2% of the participants reported that they had LBP in the previous year. Many factors of the participants’ demographic characteristics (gender, BMI, and marital status), working conditions (years of working experience, weekly work days, labor-oriented work, and direct care staff), and health status (exercise habit, perceived health status, previous and more recent medication experience of musculoskeletal discomfort) associated with LBP occurrence were analyzed in univariate Chi-square analyses. Finally, multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the factors of female gender (OR = 1.534, p = 0.039), being married (OR = 1.469, p = 0.027), being direct care staff (OR = 1.844, p = 0.025), having fair health status (OR = 1.518, p = 0.012), or previous (OR = 1.996, p 0.001) and more recent (OR = 2.744, p 0.001) medication experience of musculoskeletal discomfort were found to be more likely to have LBP than their counterparts. This study highlights that we should pay much closer attention to LBP risk factors and to plan necessary initiatives to avoid the progression of LBP in the workplace.

Without a clear profile of autistic population and its change, efforts to understand its nature and improve the quality of service or education will be impossible. The present study aims to describe the over time reported rate of autism severity based on a nationwide population-based 10 years register data in Taiwan. We obtained the national register data–the Disabled Population by Aged and Grade and the Taiwan General Population by Age to examine the overtime trend change of autism severity from 2000 to 2009. Results showed that the reported prevalence of autistic cases significantly increased from 0.93 to 3.96 per 10,000 population in 2000–2009. The group of mild disability grade was significant increasing from 33.4% to56.2% in percentage of four disability levels in the year of 2000 and 2009, the other groups were decreasing percentage significantly at the same period (p < 0.001 in linear trend tests). However, the gender difference in the number of autism in all disability severity needed to be measured in the future study. The study highlights that it is needed to measure the effect of autism severity on the healthcare and education needs in the near future, to improve the quality service for people with autism spectrum disorder.

The present study aimed to investigate the interference of low back pain with everyday functions of life in disability care workers, and to examine the influencing factors of the interference, such as workers’ demographic, lifestyle habits, self-reported health status, working conditions and previous pain experience. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and Brief Pain Inventory – Short Form were used to identify the pain severity and life interference of 677 participants who had experienced low back pain conditions in the previous year. The results indicated that the mean score of the pain severity was 3.78 ± 1.82, 78.9% subjects experienced mild pain (score 2–4), 13.7% subjects experienced moderate pain, and 5.3% subjects experienced severe pain. More than twenty percent of the respondents reported that low back pain moderately or severely interfered with their daily functions. Many working conditions and pain experienced significantly correlated with the score of pain interference in the care workers after controlling for factors of healthy lifestyle and health status (R2 = 41.7%). These findings may garner attention from health welfare authorities and lead to improvements in health promotion initiatives to prevent low back pain from interfering with the daily activities of care workers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated disabilities.
