Abstract

V originále

Although anemia is more prevalent as aging proceeds, in cannot be assumed that it happens due to aging alone. The biggest prevaĺence of anemia is in the oldest old who are hospitalized. An analysis of occurrence and characteristics of anemia in the elderly 65+ y. admitted to acute geriatric department.During the period of two years the authors treated 2282 elderly patients aged 65+y. Out of them a subgroup of 246 old anemic patients with hemoglobin hemoglobin <110 g/l (aged in average 81 y.) was selected. The prevalence of anemic patiens among all the actuely admitted seniors ranged between 7,1 % and 20 % (from 65 y. to 100 y.). All the data of these anemic patiens (both clinical and laboratory) were collected and analyzed. Hemoglobin by hospital admission in average was 93,4 g/l; below 80 g/l in 56 cases. The autors found anemic persons living lonely in the community more frequently (p=0,005) than in elderly people living with somebody or in an institution. No significant gender differences in the occurrence of anemia were observed.
