OBJECTIVES: With advancing age, the degree of dependency and occurrence of great @entity751 ( @entity751 ), also referred to as @entity2967 , grow substantially. DESIGN: The prospective cohort study was aimed at conducting an analysis and @entity751 ( @entity2967 ) among different age groups at admission to the acute geriatric department. SETTING, @entity1 : Between 1995 and 2012, we had altogether 12,210 elderly @entity1 at an average age of 80.5    7.0 y (range 65-103 y) hospitalised at the Department of Geriatrics. We divided the @entity1 set into three different age subgroups (65-74 y; 75-84 y and >=  85 y; e.g. 21.4 %; 47.9 % and 30.7 %) and compared the results among them. RESULTS: 3,787 @entity1 (31.0 %) were without any @entity751 . The growing tendency of the occurrence of all @entity751 in combinations with increased age (p < 0.001) is obvious. Their occurrence in the above mentioned different age sets was examined in relation to individual @entity751 and sex (female and male), namely falls 22.0 %, 27.8 %, 39.9 % and 20.5 %, 27.0 %, 36.1 %; immobility 26.4 %, 29.3 %, 42.5 % and 30.3 %, 30.1 % and 39.2 %; @entity322 38.4 %, 50.6 %, 69.5 % and 38.2 %, 47.4 %, 61.8 %; @entity303 and @entity73 13.4 %, 23.4 %, 38.1 % and 15.8 %, 24.3 %, 33.2 % respectively. Age cut-off for @entity751 occurrence based on ROC analysis is 83.5-84.5 y for females and 78.5-82.5 y for males. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of @entity2967 increasing with age and female gender is of crucial importance not only for individuals and families but also for demands on costs of health and social care in oncoming decades (Tab. 6, Fig. 3, Ref. 52).
