Abstract
A study was done on geriatric residents from three institutions in Metro Manila namely La Verna I and II, a retirement home of Sisters of Franciscan Immaculate Concepcion; Hospicio de San Jose, a catholic welfare institution for the very young as well as for the very old; and Golden Acres, a government institution that takes care of indigent old/elderly people. A total of 176 geriatric residents were examined, majority are from Golden Acres with 121, followed by Hospicio de San Jose with 30 and lastly La Verna I and II with 25. In general, the oral health status of geriatric residents is very poor especially at Golden Acres and Hospicio de San Jose. Since all the resident sisters in La Verna I and II are highly educated, their oral health status is fair to good. The more prevalent medical problems the geriatric residents had are: Cataract (54); Hypertension/Cardiac Disorders (46); Rheumatoid Arthritis (30); Respiratory Diseases (29); Blood Diseases (28); Diabetes Mellitus (14); Skin Diseases (10); Impaired Hearing (13); Neurologic Problems (19); and Psychological Problems (2).
对马尼拉大都会三个机构的老年居民进行了一项研究，即La Verna I和II，无玷康塞普西翁方济各会修女的退休之家;圣荷西医院(Hospicio de San Jose)是一家天主教福利机构，既为老人也为年轻人服务;Golden Acres是一家照顾贫困老人的政府机构。共有176名老年居民接受了调查，其中大多数来自Golden Acres，有121人，其次是Hospicio de San Jose，有30人，最后是La Verna I和II，有25人。总体而言，老年居民的口腔健康状况很差，特别是在Golden Acres和Hospicio de San Jose。由于La Verna I和La Verna II的居民姐妹都受过高等教育，她们的口腔健康状况一般。老年居民较普遍的医疗问题是:白内障(54);高血压/心脏疾病(46);类风湿关节炎(30);呼吸系统疾病(29);血液病(28);糖尿病(14例);皮肤病(10);听力受损(13);神经问题(19);心理问题(2)。
