Aim: To study efficacy of sanatorium treatment of aged patients with gastroenterological and locomotor diseases in the heriatric center.
Material And Methods: 100 patients were investigated for effects of sanatorium treatment on quality of life.
Results: Clinical symptoms depended on the patients' age. Patients under 70 years of age had leading symptoms from gastrointestinal organs and locomotor system. These patients were most responsive to rehabilitation measures. In 70-year-olds and older patients cardiovascular and cerebral pathologies are of special importance limiting usage of physiotherapy and necessitating wider application of medicines: hypotensive, antianginal, circulation correcting, etc. The sanatorium stage of rehabilitation creates a positive emotional background in these patients.
Conclusion: Sanatorium treatment resulted in improvement of life quality in gerontological patients.
