Abstract
Objective. To study the quality of life and adaptation of elderly men and women with chronic cerebral ischemia.
Materials and methods. The study included 65 patients (31 men and 34 women, mean age 81.6±1.1 years) diagnosed withchronic cerebral ischemia. The assessment of quality of life carried out by using the Russian version of the general questionnaire “SF-36 HEALTH STATUS SURVEY”. The level of asthenia studied using the MFI-20 questionnaire. Levels of anxiety and depression were determined using the HADS scale. Adaptive reactions studied in the leukocyte blood count by calculating the percentage of lymphocytes and segmented neutrophils.
Results. The patients rated their quality of life low in all areas, including the areas of physical capabilities, psychological well-being and social activity. A high prevalence and varying degrees of severity of asthenia, anxiety and depressive disorders revealed in all patients, more pronounced in women. The formation of homeostatic blood reactions was observed, indicating a decrease in the level of adaptation.
