摘要：

From studies of fears in children and adolescents, it was concluded that fears decrease with age and that girls show more fears than boys at the approach of adolescence. Community studies of adult fears as well as psychopathology have suggested a decrease in fears and phobic and anxiety symptoms with age. However, little is known of the distribution of fears in older adults. In view of this, the FSS-II was administered to a group of individuals aged 50 yr and over, as part of a larger epidemiological investigation of the oral health and treatment needs of older adults within Metropolitan Toronto. The results supported the hypothesis that the gender differences which ermerge at adolescence hold up into old age. The predicted age decrease in fearfulness was also supported. © 1991.
