The research was based on Belgorod municipal hospital №1and Belgorod veterans’ hospital. A group of 30 patients from 60 to 74 years was selected in each hospital (median age in municipal hospital was 68,8 ± 3,2 years, in veterans’ hospital 75,5 ± 2,5 years). For quality of life examination we used sf-36 questionnaire which has eight scaled scores; the scores are weighted sums of the questions in each section. Scores range from 0 to 100 Lower scores mean more disability, higher scores mean less disability. The sections are: Vitality, Physical functioning, Bodily pain, General health perceptions, Physical role functioning, Emotional role functioning, Social role functioning, Mental health. In addition we studied clinic-epidemic peculiarities of elderly persons in care homes in comparison with non-organised persons. Patients were divided in two groups. The first included 307 non-organised individuals with median age of 72,5+1,3 years who spent all their time at home. This part of study was based on Belgorod municipal polyclinic №1. The other group included 305 elderly people with median age of 72,1+1,2 years living in Shebekino and New Oskol care houses.
