Medical, social and psychological factors as predictors of survival - a follow-up from 67 to 87 years of age.

All pensioners in a primary care district (n=142) participating in a multi-disciplinary population study were followed from 67 years of age to the age of 87 with regard to survival. A multivariate survival analysis of psychological and social factors and medical symptoms at 67 years of age was used to test the relationship between such data and survival. Out of the 23 original medical, social and psychological factors/variables, the successive ranking risk factors for men were: positive attitudes to old-age homes, high social class, many reported disease at age 67, low degree of need satisfaction, and many reported earlier disease. For women the ranking of risk factors for early death were: early death age of mother, low degree of social rigidity, smoking, field-dependency and need of social help. The results reflect the interplay between hereditary, medical, social and psychological factors in predicting survival and how this interplay differs between males and females.

Laboratory values, symptoms and survival in an 80-year-old population.

Medical, psychological and sociological factors were related to laboratory values in an 80-year-old population encompassing 211 persons. 21% of the men and 17% of the women had elevated ESR. 36% had elevated blood glucose (7% had diabetes). 13% of the men and 7% of the women had anaemia. Persons with anaemia generally had a lower quality of life compared with non-anaemic persons. Low haemoglobin, elevated ESR and low serum iron were all associated with impaired subjective and objective health. There were no significant correlations between the laboratory data and psychological and social parameters. The survival over 5 years was significantly decreased for those with anaemia, elevated ESR, high white blood count, high blood glucose, low serum iron or deviating serum potassium.
