Abstract

Aim: In this study it is aimed to evaluate geriatric patients who apply to health council. Material and Method: The study retrospectively assessed 3112 patients admitted to the disability ward, of which 601 patients were included in the study. Results: Of the 601 patients, 53.1% were men and 46.9% were women. The mean age of these patients was 60 (std ± 18.35) years. Some of the reasons for admission in the hospital were need for social services (45.6%) and determination of disability rate (21.6%). Most common diseases in patients aged >=65 years were hypertension (21.6%), diabetes (12.6%), and chronic obstructive lung disease and dilated cardiomyopathy (3.7%; p =65 years; however, its prevalence was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Internal disability rate was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), but total disability was statistically significant (p =65 years.Discussion: Rapid increases in life expectancy and number of older people has increased the prevalence of disabilities among older people. Being diagnosed with chronic diseases should not be the end of life for geriatric populations. Their mood, social life, general health, and mental profile should progress. Sufficient attention should be paid to the special needs of older patients thereby leading to a wider use of facilities.
