Abstract:

The article is devoted to the actual problem of social services for elderly citizens at home. The whole social service system requires modernization based on the principles of providing social services to form motivation for active longevity and to develop social interaction of the elderly. The article deals with the issues of socialization of older people, its features, objective and subjective factors, the opinions of scientists on the factors, typology of socialization. There are presented the main problems of elderly people receiving services of social service institutions in the Russian Federation, identified on the basis of statistical data. There are outlined directions of the State strategy for development of the system of social services for older generation, improvement of their quality of life and active longevity under the conditions of socio-economic crisis. The author uses the results of own sociological survey of408 elderly respondents receiving social services in the social service institutions for the elderly. The importance of the services related to maintaining healthy and socially active longevity, organization of life and leisure, constructive interaction with relatives, for successful socialization of elderly people is shown. It is established that the most intensive socialization occurs in the process of providing social and socio-medical services. The dominant setting of elderly people is preservation of health; at the same time, it is the state of health that mostly determines the success of socialization of the elderly. For their active and healthy longevity elderly people prefer primarily cultural, educational, sports activities. However, many rely on the support of social service organizations.

Abstract:

Dyslipidemia as a risk factor in the elderly and its influence on morbidity and mortality remains a topic, at least, controversial for this population range. Statins, due to their LDL-c reducing effect, can improve other conditions that contribute to the morbidity and mortality of elderly patients. These pleitropic effects are of vital importance in the anti-atherosclerotic effect of statins. Pleitropic properties may also be involved in the non-cardiovascular benefits of statins, recently described. The similarity of pathological processes between middle-aged individuals and elderly people over 65 years of age, together with epidemiological data, confer that high cholesterol levels lead to a high risk in the elderly. Angiographic studies show that, even with advanced circulatory disease, the elderly respond to cholesterol-reducing therapy, with reduced risk. Dyslipidemia plays a key role in the progression of coronary artery disease and is an important predictor of coronary artery disease related events in elderly individuals. Statins are widely accepted as effective therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Although studies are limited, such benefits should also be extended to elderly patients. Statins are widely accepted as effective therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Although studies are limited, such benefits should also be extended to elderly patients. Taking into account the spectacular growth of the population over 65 years of age, including the increased longevity and knowing that if the current conditions of eating error, physical inactivity and inadequate treatment are modified, statin therapy undoubtedly represents a highly positive influence on the survival of this population group described.

Abstract:

Background: Aging is an inevitable process which has to take place at any costand is experienced by all of us, as a true reality of life. So, this stage of life; is quite pleasurablefor some elderly people whereas for some it becomes miserable. They become more fragileand prone towards diseases which greatly impact their health and limits activities of daily living.This decline increases day by day and becomes a cause of death. Objectives of Study: Toevaluate the relationship of physical activity on quality of life of elderly people. To determinewhether how many of them are still active and to find the reasons that makes an elderly personresponsible for being active or inactive which directly impacts the quality of life of an individual.Design: A Descriptive Cross Sectional survey. Period: It was 6 months of duration from January2014 till June 2014. Setting: A Descriptive Cross Sectional survey was conducted in elderlypopulation. This study was conducted from elderly people living in Rawalpindi, Islamabad.For these OPDs of the hospitals of Rawalpindi, Islamabad had been visited. Methods: Thesample size was 700 elderly individuals including males & females of ages 65 years & above.A structured questionnaire was designed and finalized after peer review. This questionnairewas “The Lawton Instrumental Activities of daily living Scale” that consisted of 15 questions,out of which 7 were close ended questions & 8 questions taken from the scale. Then, thedata had been be analyzed on SPSS-20 software. Results: The results of Lawton’s scale(which measures the level of effectiveness of physical activity) show that out of 700 total elderlypopulations, 564(80.5%) participants are physically active whereas 136 (19.4%) participants arethe ones who are not at all active. Among elderly population of 439 male participant 283(64.4%)of them are active that is they achieved the score 5/5 which is maximum independent scoreas described by Lawton for males. Whereas out of 261female participants 84 (32.2%) of themare independent and active as their score is 8/8. The result regarding diseases of our geriatricpopulation show that 200 (28.6%) of them are the ones having no disease at all. Whereas inthe case of diseased population, 119 (17%) of them are having cardiovascular & Hypertension,128 (18%) among them have the diseases present in combination of two. 76 (10.9%) amongthem are having Arthritis, which cannot be ignored. Conclusion: Physical activity has shownto have extremely positive benefits on health, mind, body & quality of life of an individual. Thesame implies with the elderly population because physical activity is a very powerful tool todelay the degenerative process which inevitably take place in the body. As the process ofaging is delayed, it produces many beneficial effects on almost all the systems of the body.Physical activity is proved to be extremely cardio protective in elders. Delay the disease process& protect them against many harmful effects of aging which would otherwise make elderly bedstrickenfrom the very beginning of aging process in geriatric population.

Abstract:

Nutrition is emerging as a key factor in promoting healthy lifestyles in the growing elderly population across Europe. In this study, we examined the non-animal-derived food source consumption among the elderly European population to evaluate the actual contributions of these foods to the diet of the elders. We gathered 21 studies conducted in 17 European countries to evaluate the fruit, vegetable, and legume (along with their derived products) consumption among the elderly (>65 years) population. Foods’ nutritional values were calculated and compared to the recommended intakes. A Bayesian multilevel hierarchical analysis was conducted to estimate the caloric intake of food categories and to compare the elderly and general adult populations. Although the lowest consumption was generally associated with the lowest nutrient and fiber intake, the reverse was not always the case. Concerning the general adult population, no differences in the related caloric intake of elders were noticed. Differences were instead evident when foods were divided into subclasses. Elderly populations consume fruit and fruit products, but they drink less fruit and vegetable juices and nectars. In conclusion, elderlies’ fruit and vegetable consumption showed a peculiar pattern with respect to the general adult population, whose recognition could be helpful to address tailored policies. Constantly updated studies, including all the lifespan ages, are warranted to design tailored effective public health interventions.

Abstract:

Background: Old age or elderly is the final stage of the normal life span. The elderly population is facing many health problems such as physical, mental, psychological & social etc. Factors like loneliness, low self-esteem, social isolation, quality of life and several others negatively affect elderly population and increase the risk of various health problems in elderly people. Aim: This study aims to assess loneliness among elderly population and to examine possible correlations with associated demographic, social and health factors. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted, in which 200 elderly from Sirmour participated and the subjects were selected using total enumeration sampling technique. For the data collection the UCLA loneliness 20-item scale was used as well as a questionnaire with questions about demographic, social and health factors and the data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS. Results: Present study results reveals 127(63.5%) of elderly has mild level of loneliness, 44(22.0%) of them has moderate level of loneliness whereas 29(14.5%) has severe level of loneliness and no significant association was found between the level of loneliness & demographic variable. Conclusion: Results show that no significant association is present between the loneliness with demographic variable. Keywords: Loneliness, UCLA Scale.

Abstract:

On the theoretical basis of the "generational economy" the article describes the "model of overlapping generations" and "life cycle model" as the cause of the existence of intergenerational transfers. The classification of approaches to their study is carried out. Based on the exchange model (the concept of childbearing as a long-term investment in future transfers from adult children to elderly parents) and the theory of substitutions (crowding out private transfers by public social systems), the "elderly security hypothesis" is highlighted as a possible socio-economic reason for the demographic transition. Based on the works of A. Cigno, a theoretical review of this theory is made using the concepts of ^substitution effect» and «free rider effect». According to the works of R. Fenge and B. Scheubel, the "income effect" and "price effect" are defined as the key parameters for testing this hypothesis. An overview of the existing scientific and practical works on the topic of research is made, highlighting methods and results on the following examples: Italy after World War II, Germany at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Brazil in 1991-2000, Hungary in 19502006, 34 OECD countries in the 1990s and the consolidated data for 121 countries at present. The author has carried out his own empirical test of the «hypothesis of elderly security» in the countries of the world on the basis of UN and OECD statistics. Coverage, social security spending, replacement rate, mandatory premium rate, and an increased risk of poverty among older people support the safe aging theory of upward intergenerational transfers from children to parents. But the internal rate of return of pension systems and the average income of older people support the competing hypothesis of top-down intergenerational transfers from parent to child. It is concluded that, with a relatively low standard of living of population, intergenerational transfers go from children to parents, but when a certain level of national welfare is reached, the movement of transfers changes to the opposite direction.

Abstract:

Background: The increase in the number of elderly in the world causes a variety of problems, one of which is the low quality of life of the elderly which is influenced by several factors such as housing factors, physical and psychological conditions, and social and cultural factors. This study aims to find out the difference in the quality of life of elderly people living in communities and living in nursing home. Methods: This study uses cross-sectional design with a population consists of 2 groups, namely the elderly living in the communities and nursing home. The elderly sample in the nursing home is determined by the total method of the population. While sampling elderly samples in the communities using purposive sampling method with a sample ratio 1:1. Data collection was conducted by interview using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analysis was used to analyze the data and t-test independent was utilized to examine the difference in the quality of life among studied groups. Result: The results showed that the average age of the elderly living in the nursing home was younger, and majority of respondents did not graduate from elementary school. Univariate analysis shows that elderly people living in the nursing home have a better quality of life compared to the elderly living in the community. Bivariate analysis showed that there is a significant differences between the quality of life of eldery people living in nursing home and in the community, both from the physical domain of the eldery (p-value: 0.0003), the psychological domain (p-value: 0.0349), the social domain (p-value: 0.0001), and the environmental domain (p-value: 0.0001). Recommandation: Efforts to improve the elderly’s quality of life are required to be done by families, communities, and governments. Thus, the elderly can go through their old age in a healthy, safe and comfortable manner.

Abstract:

The growing American retired population increasingly is viewed for its economic development potential. The relationship between the elderly and local taxes may have a critical effect on this potential, however. This paper examines the local tax implications of an increasing elderly population in communities prohibiting tax referenda. In such communities, citizens have no direct role in tax decisions. The elderly's attitudes towards different local taxes are examined using telephone survey data, before using aggregate data to investigate the relationship between the elderly and the specific taxes used in communities. The results suggest that a high proportion of elderly do not affect the mix of local taxes, but that an increasing proportion does have an influence.

Abstract:

Introduction: With the rising number of elderly patients and increasing incidence of colorectal cancer, management of geriatric patients has become the forefront of colorectal surgery. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the short-term surgical outcomes following colorectal resection in elderly patients. Materials and methods: A total of 464 patients who underwent surgical resection for colorectal tumor between 2013 and 2017 were included. The patients were divided into elderly (≥75 years) and young (<75 years) group. The clinicopathological data of the patients were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The elderly group constituted 30% of study population. More patients in elderly group underwent Hartmann procedure (p=0.02) and right hemicolectomy (p=0.029), and younger patients more often received low anterior resection (p=0.027). The surgical procedure took a shorter time in elderly group (p<0.01) but they stayed in the hospital one day longer (p=0.023). Postoperative complications and mortality tended to be higher in seniors (p=0.088). The younger patients showed a tendency towards a higher rate of distant metastases (p=0.053). Seniors received fewer preoperative chemoradiation than the young group (p=0.014). Conclusion: Older persons constitute one-third of patients treated electively in colorectal departments. Colorectal surgery in geriatric patients is associated with a prolonged hospital stay and a higher potential for complications and mortality.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction With an aging population, there will be an aging LBGTQ* population. Little education exists for medical professionals on their specific healthcare needs; the discrimination that still exists towards this group and the barriers they face when accessing healthcare. This project aimed to develop and deliver education sessions for medical professionals on “The Elderly LBGTQ* Population” in NHS Forth Valley, evaluating the quality of these sessions. With clinicians attending these sessions, it could lead to safer, more accessible and improved patient care for elderly LBGTQ* patients. Methods “The Elderly LBGTQ* Population” session was developed through research of relevant literature and liaising with local equality and diversity team. Two sessions were delivered in Autumn 2019. Data on quality of session was collected from feedback forms completed by those attending. Comments on feedback forms were used to shape future direction of sessions. Results 77% of those attending felt it was of high relevance to them, with 95% rating presentation quality and content quality as “high”. Comments received included the sessions being “excellent and thought provoking”, with many stating this was their first time receiving such teaching and were grateful for highlighting the specific issues facing this population. Discussion Following the success of education sessions, the aim is to deliver more locally and expand across Scotland, hopefully with involvement from third sector organisations working with this population. Feedback will again be gathered to allow for continued development of sessions and ensure they remain of high quality and relevance. An e-Learning module is also in development with Association for Elderly Medicine Education, allowing for UK wide access.

Abstract:

Introduction: Disability increases an individual’s dependence and negatively impacts their physical, mental, and social functioning. The current study aims to establish the prevalence and risk factors of disability in Singapore’s population. Materials and Methods: Data was extracted from the Well-being of the Singapore Elderly (WiSE) study. This cross-sectional study recruited participants aged 60 years and above (n = 2421) who were representative of Singapore’s multiethnic population. We used the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 to assess the severity of disability in our sample while establishing its associations and correlations with cognitive levels, sociodemographic variables, and chronic illness. Results: Cognitive deficits, old age, female gender, Malay and Indian ethnicity, lack of education, retired or homemaker status, presence of chronic illness (specifically stroke, heart problems, depression, and dementia) were found to be significantly associated with disability in Singapore’s elderly population. As hypothesised, participants with deficits in cognition were more likely to indicate higher WHODAS scores. Conclusion: The findings highlighted specific factors associated with disability in this multiethnic population. The identification of these factors would lead the way to the development of appropriate interventions. Key words: Chronic illness, Cognitive decline, Functioning, Old age

Abstract:

Über 50% der älteren Personen leiden an einer arteriellen Hypertonie. Bei vielen älteren Personen wird gemäß epidemiologischen Studien der Blutdruck nicht oder nur ungenügend behandelt. Eine aktuelle Übersicht der wichtigsten kontrollierten Studien zeigt, daß die Behandlung der arteriellen Hypertonie (systolisch ≥ 160 oder diastolisch ≥ 95 mmHg) bei gesunden älteren Patienten zu einer Reduktion von kardiovaskulären Ereignissen um etwa 30 bis 50% führt. Da das absolute Risiko von kardiovaskulären Komplikationen bei gleichem Blutdruck bei älteren Hypertonikern etwa 3- bis 4mal höher ist als bei jüngeren Personen, ist die Wirksamkeit der antihypertensiven Therapie im Alter besonders hoch. Bei multimorbiden älteren Patienten ist die Wirksamkeit der antihypertensiven Therapie dagegen weniger klar belegt, weshalb hier die Indikation und Wahl der antihypertensiven Medikation von der individuellen klinischen Situation abhängt. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfordert das im Alter erhöhte Risiko der orthostatischen Hypotonie. Sorgfältige, initial niedrigdosierte Blutdrucktherapie und routinemäßige Blutdruckkontrollen im Liegen und Stehen sind deshalb erforderlich zur Diagnose und Verlaufskontrolle der Hypertonie im Alter.

Abstract:

Malaysia will be one of the old countries by 2030. Aging population occurs when the percentage of the elderly population exceeds the percentage of the young population in an area, state or country. In Malaysia, 6.73 percent of Malaysia's population is comprised of people who are mostly in the age of 65 years and above. However, the year 2020 has shown that the state of Perak has become an old state. The percentage contribution from the population aged 65 years and above is higher in Perak, than Malaysia, with the percentage of 11.9 percent of elderly population in 2020. The main objective in this writing is to analyze the aging trends of the population in Perak and to examine the issues and effects of aging population. This study has used secondary data collection methods, namely data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (JPM), United Nations and other related articles. Perak has become the third eldely state, after Johor and Selangor in 2020. However, due to this escalation, several issues have arisen such as the needs for financial resources to accommodate the elderly, rising health costs of the elderly and labor shortages. Thus, this situation will cause some serious effects on the national economy and also directly on the individuals.

Abstract:

Introduction: The elders are the ones that most often experience tooth loss which affects masticatory function. Masticatory function can be evaluated subjectively through masticatory ability assessment. The masticatory function is influenced by the number of posterior occluding pairs; this also may be called as functional tooth units (FTUs). The purpose of this study was to describe FTUs and masticatory ability in the elderly. Methods: This research was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional study design. Subjects were taken by purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted in the Lebakgede Sub-district, Bandung City. Data mentioned were obtained by conducting interviews regarding data on subject characteristics and questionnaires of masticatory ability, as well as examining the oral cavity to obtain FTUs data. Results: Subjects obtained were 74 people consisting of 63 women (85.14%) and 11 men (14.86%). Based on the results, the average age of the research subjects was 68.49 years, and those with good masticatory ability status were 26 elderly (35.14%) with an average FTU value of 5.9 while 48 elderly (64.86%) had poor masticatory ability status with an average FTU score of 1.5, even 31 subjects (41.89%) had a zero FTU score. Conclusion: The majority of the elderly in this research mostly had a low total FTUs score which means that the masticatory ability status in the elderly tended to be poor.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives:There is lack of published data on bulbar signs among the healthy population. This study aims to determine the range of normality of bulbar signs particularly among the elderly.Methods:Systemic examination of bulbar signs was carried out according to a predetermined protocol on a cohort of young and elderly healthy subjects.Results:A total of 206 subjects were recruited in the study, 104 young adults with mean age of 20 years, and 102 elderly with mean age of 73 years. Uvula deviation was seen in 28 (26.9%) young subjects and 22 (21.6%) elderly. Irregular tongue border was seen in 17 subjects, unilateral in 4 subjects. Fourteen (6.8%) subjects had deviation on tongue protrusion. Occasional tremor of tongue on protrusion is common in both young and old. Persistent (severe) tongue tremor on protrusion was seen in 18.6% of the elderly, and 4.8% of the young. None of the subjects had tremor of tongue at rest. In gag reflex, absence of gagging response was common in elderly, seen in two thirds of the subjects on stimulation of the posterior pharyngeal wall. However, all the subjects had uvular movement. Habituation or suppression of gagging response was seen in close to 90% of young males.Conclusion:There is wide range of normality in bulbar signs in normal population, particularly among the elderly.

Abstract:

A paradigm shift from the joint family system to nuclear family, a fast changes in lifestyles, changing and fluctuating social values and the pressure of working conditions create impediment for the younger generation at present in loving and caring their elderly parents. The age-old traditional institutions in the country are not successful and sometimes failing in accommodating the needs of their elderly, it is the duty of the state to evolve good policies and design necessary programmes for the welfare of the geriatric population to keep the elderly alive and safeguard them with human dignity. It is a constitutional obligation. The present paper analyses in detail about the various policies and programmes of the elderly and how they are implemented from time to time of the various states in India. The findings show clearly about the large scale inadequacy of political economy of elderly welfare in India. The states could not do anything concretely to cater to the needs of the growing geriatric population in India as they are suffering from insufficient availability of resources. If this is the state of elders in India for more than two decades, how the poorer sections of the geriatric population in the society will have dignified living and respect. It reflects clearly at every level on the part of the state, community and family for seeing/finding the lack of genuine commitment in caring the elders and for their welfare in India. The younger generations of today have sidelined to capture and also to possess the wisdom and experiences of the elderly. Instead they are going after the materialistic values. Therefore, they do not give importance in meeting out the needs of their own elders’ care. This has resulted in utterly pushing the geriatric population to the state of helplessness.

Abstract:

Demographic shifts towards an aging population are becoming a significant fiscal challenge for governments. Previous research has explored the fiscal consequences of the expanding elderly population, but the impact on the elderly’s health quality is less mentioned. The balanced relationship between elderly population health and public finance is a major concern of the global political agenda on the aging society. This article used cross-country panel data from 2000 to 2019 to examine the fiscal effect of the elderly health burden and the mediating role of healthcare resources. The results are demonstrated: The elderly health burden has a negative impact on fiscal balance, especially in aged society and longevity countries. Moreover, the mediating effect of healthcare resources is significant, whereby various forms of healthcare resources such as funds, labor, and facilities all have significant effects. Thus, the conceptual framework of elderly population health, healthcare resources, and public finance is confirmed that the elderly health burden specifically leads to the growing consumption of healthcare resources, which reduces the fiscal balance. It is concluded that reducing the elderly health burden and improving healthcare resource efficiencies are two feasible strategies to enhance fiscal sustainability.

Abstract:

According to the results of my country's seventh census, the national population aged 60 and above is 264 million, accounting for 18.7% of the total population, of which the population aged 65 and above is 190 million, accounting for 13.5% of the total population. The total elderly population is larger than the population of some countries. Because the life satisfaction of the elderly is one of the important components of people's happiness, and the life satisfaction of the elderly is affected by the living pattern. However, with the development of the times, the living pattern of the elderly in China has also changed. Based on the data of the China General Social Survey in 2017, this paper adopts the OLS and two-stage least squares method to empirically analyze the causality of the living pattern on the life satisfaction of the elderly, and uses instrumental variables to test the robustness and the elderly's life satisfaction. Differences were analyzed for heterogeneity, and structural equations were used to analyze the mechanism of influencing channels. The empirical results show that living with children can improve life satisfaction and reduce loneliness in the elderly. Heterogeneity analysis showed that the impact of living patterns on life satisfaction of the elderly was inconsistent due to differences in gender, relationship with children and social status of the elderly. Through the mechanism analysis, it is concluded that living with children will increase the children's economic support for the elderly and have a positive impact on life satisfaction. impact on the relationship.

Abstract:

Background: Elderly populations are the vulnerable population and yet still neglected one. The main aim of the research is to assess the nutritional status of elderly population at Gokarneshwor municipality, Kathmandu. Methods: Quantitative cross sectional study was conducted in the time frame of July 15-Jan 15, 2020 among 301 elderly population of Gokarneshwor municipality, Kathmandu. Proportionate systematic sampling was applied for elderly selection. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed by using the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences and Microsoft Excel. Results: Study reflected that most of the elderly (48.5%) had normal body mass index followed by overweight (24.6%), underweight (18.6%) and obese (8.3%) respectively. Currently 27.2% used to consume alcohol and 24.3% used to smoke. More than one third (39.1%) elderly reported psychological stress or disease. Most of the elderly (40.1%) had high pressure followed by Diabetes (27.1%), Chronic Obstructed Pulmonary Disease (23.6%), heart disease (7.1%) and heart stroke (1.9%) respectively. Elderly nutritional status was statistically significant among marital status (P=0.022), food intake in recent three month (P=0.024), weight loss (P=0.001), mobility (P=0.004), self-perception of health status (P=0.029), psychological stress (P<0.001) are associated with malnutrition. Conclusion: Considerable numbers of elderly were found to be malnourished and many were at risk of malnutrition. Intervention focusing food habit, weight status, mental status, physical activity need to be developed which ultimately helps to balance nutritional status. Further intensive research could discover the factors for improving nutritional status of elderly. Key words: Nutritional status, elderly population, health status, dietary intake, body mass index.

Abstract:

Considering that deaths from cardiovascular disease have been increasing in proportion to population ageing, prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia in elderly people is essential to avoid such outcome. Some biomarkers, albeit with limitations, have shown effectiveness in predicting cardiovascular events. Among them, blood levels of C-reactive protein, Lipoprotein A and, especially, coronary artery calcium. Dyslipidemia management primarily includes changes in lifestyle, such as physical activity, diet and smoking cessation. However, in elderly, drug therapy may be necessary, with statins being the first line treatment. In addition, therapies with drugs that decrease intestinal cholesterol absorption or increase LDL absorption by the liver, for example, have shown benefit when added to conventional therapy. Therefore, this review aims to contemplate some aspects of dyslipidemia in the elderly population, since appropriate management of such condition can significantly avoid undesirable outcomes.

Abstract:

For many reasons, the elderly population in Iran is considered a growing phenomenon. An accelerated decline in birth rate in the past two decades, medical-health advances, and increased life expectancy are among the major reasons. Based on the definitions of the Country’s Population Index, Iran's elderly population, with a growth rate of 3.9% compared to the total population growth (2.29%) between 2007 and 2012 has reached to the elderly population of 8.26% in 2012, which puts Iran among countries with aging populations. Now, Iran's elderly population is 6205998 people, including approximately 48.70% aged men and 51.30% aged women. Iran, based on the age criteria of the population structure, is now faced with the aging phenomenon, and since this phenomenon encompasses health, economic and social consequences, as well as service requirements, elderly population of Iran should be comprehensively and continuously evaluated so that the health and medical officials could deal with the incident with proper planning and meet the needs of this group of the society.

Abstract:

AbstractIn geriatric practice, data regarding infections including the epidemiology, morbidity, and mortality are lacking. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency, location, microbiological and laboratory characteristics of infectious diseases in elderly population admitted to a training hospital. The patients were included total of 330 patients, aged over 65 with infection, seen between January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2006. In the result, of patients 136 (41%) had respiratory system infection, 90 (27%) urinary system infection, 39 (12%) gastrointestinal system infection, 34 (10%) bloodstream infections, 17 (5%) soft tissue infection, 8 (2%) central nervous system infections, and 6 (2%) others. Average length of hospitalization was 8.6±7.7 days. Mortality rate from all causes was 57 (17%). The most common infections in elderly patients were respiratory tract and urinary system infections, and there were no fever, leukocytes and high CRP levels in approximately 1/3 of cases. Infectious diseases may occur even in the absence of such infection indicators as fever, raised WBC count and high CRP level in the elderly population.
