ABSTRACT
The aim of this work was to evaluate general aspects, medical diagnoses, degree of disability, mental status and social support of hospitalized elders, using a Geriatric Assessment Scale, devised at the Catholic University. Ninety eight hospitalized subjects (58 female, aged 60 to 74 years old) were surveyed before discharge. Results showed that 34 percent had serious handicaps in their daily living and required third party help, 14 percent had moderated cognitive impairment and that 12 percent lacked social of family support. We conclude that the scale is useful, easy to use and allows to obtain a thorough diagnosis of hospitalized elders
