In order to study the prevalence of chronic somatic age-associated pathology in elderly and senile people suffering from Alzheimer's type dementia with the presentation of the hypothesis of somatopsychic pathogenetic comorbidity observation and treatment, 217 patients were observed, conditionally divided into 2 comparable groups: with a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (n=73) and with so-called Alzheimer's type dementia (n=144).
