Mental disorders incidence grows constantly in patients of 60 and older. It has grown by 9.8% in 1998 as compared with 1993 and by 21.2% as compared with 1991. In 1998 psychoses and mental retardation incidence was 117.1, while nonpsychotic forms of the disorders--136.4 per 100 thousands of population at the age of 60 and older. The main increase of the incidence was found in the group with disorders characteristic for the late age. A number of the new patients with senile psychoses and dementias increased in 1998 by 21.3% as compared with 1993, while a number of patients with nonpsychotic disorders of vascular nature during the same period increased by 61.2% and with the disorders of the other organic nature--by 35.3%. From 1995 the individuals of the old age had high incidence of reactive states--by 58.9%, of neuroses--by 71.8% and of psychosomatic diseases--by 72.2%. The paper predicts further increase of mental disorders incidence in the population of elderly and old age.
