Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics ofanemia in geriatric population, which has important implications. Materials and Method: As part of the Melen Study 2187 people were examined. All participants were given a physical examination, medical history and laboratory examinations. Of thislarger group, 430 participants aged 65 and above, the "geriatric group", formed the focus of thepresent study that evaluated the incidence and morphology of anemia.Results: Of the 430 geriatrics, 138 (32.0%) were identified as anemic. The prevalence rate ofanemia was found to be 28% in women and 36% in men. The etiologies of anemia were foundto be iron deficiency anemia, 40.5%; anemia of chronic disease, 7.9%; renal anemia, 14.4%; andunexplained anemia, 36.9%.Conclusion: We found that anemia has different characteristics in geriatrics that necessitatespecial approaches in terms of etiology, precautions and treatment. Our study shows that anemiain geriatrics in Turkey may constitute a more important problem than it was thought to be

Özet

Giriş: Çalışmanın amacı pek çok açıdan özellik gösteren yaşlı nüfusta anemi sıklığının ve özelliklerinin irdelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla Melen çalışması kapsamında 2187 kişi incelemeye alındı. 65yaş ve üstü olan 430 katılımcı 'geriatri grubu' olarak çalışmanın odak noktasını oluşturdu ve fizikmuayene, anamnez ve laboratuar tetkikleri ile anemi sıklığı ve morfolojisi incelendi. Bulgular: Toplam 430 yaşlı katılımcının 138 inde (%32.0) anemi tespit edildi. Kadınlardaanemi sıklığı %28.0 ve erkeklerde %36.0 bulundu. Anemilerin %40.5'i demir eksikliği, %7.9'ukronik hastalık anemisi, %14.4'ü renal anemi ve %36.9'u açıklanamayan anemiler olarak değerlendirildi.Sonuç: Aneminin yaşlı kişilerde genelden farklı özellikler taşıdığı görülmektedir ve etiyoloji,tedavi ve önlemler açısından özel yaklaşımlar gerektirmektedir. Yaptığımız çalışma Türkiye'de yaşlı hastalarda aneminin tahmin edilenden daha önemli bir sorun olabileceğini göstermektedir
