摘要：This cohort study tests if there were differences in the prevalence rate of ten chronic diseases (CD) and self-rated health (SRH) between a two year follow-up. If differences existed, risk factors were identified. Random samples of 298 Iraqi refugees were interviewed to complete a survey related to relevant questionnaires. There was a significant difference between the studied periods for each CD and SRH. Risk factors of each CD and SRH were predicted. We conclude that our hypothesis, which predicted that Iraqi refugees would report a similar prevalence rate of CD and better health over the three periods studied, was rejected.
