Abstract

Aim. To investigate gender differences and evaluate their impact on functional and cognitive status, level of physical health and the prevalence of changes indicating geriatric syndromes in people aged 60-64 years old.

Material and methods. 250 men and 118 women aged 60-64 were examined. Sociodemographic factors, functional and cognitive status, health status, risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), the presence of NCDs and the prevalence of changes indicating geriatric syndromes were assessed.

Results. Among women there were more widows, single (without a partner) and single living, they were less likely to continue to work after retirement and more often had a low financial status. The prevalence of risk factors for NCDs and NCDs was high in both groups. The women were characterized by higher quantity of NCDs and polymorbidity index; they also took more drugs. Quality of live, nutrition status were lower in the group of women than men. More often depression was in the group of women. The prevalence of changes indicating geriatric syndromes was higher in women; they often used auxiliary means (glasses, a hearing aid, a cane, etc.).

Conclusion. In the group of women aged 60-64 years old changes in health status, physical and functional status, indicating geriatric syndromes are more common. Women are more vulnerable socially; their health is worse. Identified differences between women and men aged 60-64 years old should be taken into account when planning treatment and rehabilitation measures in people of this age category for better results.
