Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The DHSS required a `quick scientifically based study to look at the unmet needs of elderly people for chiropody services'.

Main Topics:

Elderly people: feet problems; advice or treatment received - availability, service, nature, satisfaction and success; self-treatment - difficulty, nature, satisfaction. Examination by chiropodists.

The elderly people are a sub-sample systematically selected from a random sample of 1026 elderly people who had already been identified for the ISSMC Elderly people and their medicines study. The original study was carried out in ten parliamentary constituencies chosen with a random starting point after stratification by the proportion of people of pensionable age, with probability proportional to the number of electors. In each of these areas, a systematic sample of 500 people was selected from the registers published in February 1984.
