Abstract
Dementia was the most common disease observed in our elderly institutionalized population. Alzheimer patients had significantly fewer associated diseases than nondemented patients, whereas the reverse was found in the vascular dementia group. The co-existence of Parkinson disease and dementia in our population was associated with the poorest health status, as these patients were more likely to present simultaneously such conditions as pressure sores, incontinence, dehydration, or iatrogenesis.
