Pour déterminer la présence de problèmes de santé chroniques, les participants se sont vus demander s'ils avaient «des problèmes de santé de longue durée», soit un état qui persiste ou qui devrait persister six mois ou plus, qui ont été diagnostiqués par un professionnel de la santé. Une liste de problèmes de santé leur a été lue, problèmes parmi lesquels les suivants ont été pris en considération dans [l']analyse : l'asthme, l'arthrite ou le rhumatisme, les maux de dos (autres que ceux dus à l'arthrite), la bronchite ou l'emphysème, le diabète, les maladies cardiaques, le cancer, les séquelles d'un accident vasculaire cérébral, l'incontinence urinaire, et le glaucome ou les cataractes. 4, record 1, French, - probl%C3%A8me%20de%20sant%C3%A9%20chronique
