The objective was to share the data ex-perience of 14 years concerning the functional, neuropsychological and beha-viors effects on geriatrics patients. Methodology: Descriptive retrospective study over 14 years (2005 to 2019) in the geriatrics department of Pitié Salpétrière Hospital, using the instrumentals activity of daily living (IADL) sheets and the neuropsychological inventory (NPI) assessed at the moment diagnosis according to the diagnostic criteria of 2017 and 1996. Results: A total of 70 patients including 55 exploitable files had been listed with a mean age 82.6 years [70 - 91], a sex ratio 1.2 in men favor, a mean socio-cultural level 5.2 [1 - 7], a mean Cumulating Illness Scale (CIRS52) = 10 [1 - 22]. The mean IADL and NPI were respectively 9.3 [3 - 11] and 25.1 [0 - 79]. We found an early global impairment of IADL activities frequent in transport (65%), medication management (49%), and displacement (42%) for basic activities without significant statistical difference between the age and sex groups but statistically significant early involvement with polypathology after adjustment
