The results showed a rapid increase in the number of aged outpatients receiving care at hospitals since 1977. In contrast, the number of aged outpatients receiving care at clinics since 1977 fluctuated with an overall downward trend, indicating outpatients' preference to seek treatments in hospital as opposed to clinics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The following are expected to affect future outpatient care rate differences between clinics and hospitals: differences in care rates for new outpatients, and differences between the sexes and among the types of illnesses treated. Having an especially large effect are: hypertension and heart diseases, diseases of the circulatory system also known as \u201cadult diseases\u201d; diseases of the digestive system, and diseases of the respiratory system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/101053959400700201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,28]],"date-time":"2011-06-28T15:36:36Z","timestamp":1309275396000},"page":"77-87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Behavioral Study of Visits by Aged Outpatients to Medical Facilities in Japan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Masaya","family":"Anzai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, School of Medicine, Showa University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yumi","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, School of Medicine, Showa University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasutoshi","family":"Nekoda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, School of Medicine, Showa University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Kawaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, School of Medicine, Showa University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sadamu","family":"Anzai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, School of Medicine, Showa University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","first-page":"27","volume":"4","author":"Anzai M","year":"1987","journal-title":"Hospital Administration (in Japan)"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"23","volume":"20","author":"Sekida Y","year":"1983","journal-title":"Hospital Administration (in Japanese)"},{"key":"atypb3","first-page":"33","volume":"24","author":"Anzai M","year":"1987","journal-title":"Hospital Administration (in Japanese)"},{"key":"atypb4","unstructured":"4.
