Aim: In this abstract, we aimed to investigate the mood and cognitive problems of old population living in Fatih/Istanbul province.
Material and Method: Elder people who live in addresses specified with cluster sampling method were included in the study. Third and fourth year students of İstanbul Medicine Faculty worked as pollsters. Pollsters took standard training for related evaluations. Elder people whose ages between 65 and 101 were included in the study. Cognitive condition scanning was done with mini-cog test and depression scanning was done with GDS-SF. Life quality measurement with EQ-5D life quality survey, functional capacity evaluation with 6- items KATZ Daily Life Activities Scale and 8-items LAWTON-BRODY Instrumental Daily Life Activities Scale were evaluated accordingly. Number of illness and drug, present dementia, hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia diagnosis were noted.
Results and Discussion: This study includes 204 old cases (94 male,110 female). Average age: 75.4±7.3 year. Table 1 summarizes demographic, cognitive and mood, functuality and life quality evaluation data and distribution between genders. While depression scanning positiveness is meaningfully high in women (22.6% vs. 4.3%; p <0.001), mini-cog scanning test and present dementia diagnosis are similar in both genders. Life quality measurement was meaningfully low; chronic disease and the number of drugs were higher. There is no meaningful difference between two genders about age about basic GYA point, present HT, DM, HL diagnoses and subjective health status score.
Conclusion: Old people in society have significant levels of cognitive dysfunction and depressive mood. Depressive mood, low-life quality, multidisease and drug usage are more and education level and functionality is less than men for women.
