One of the most important practical problems confronting our society is the increase in admission of elderly persons to psychiatric hospitals. The number of subjects with organic nonpsychotic symptoms was few. The differences between the two groups on mixed functional and organic nonpsychotic symptoms were recorded for the ten community subjects and the fourteen hospital subjects. During the collection of data, there was strong clinical impression that these subjects exhibited more physical illness than did community subjects. The mortality rate of all hospitalized persons would indicate that this is generally more marked than appears in our selected subject group. Obrist and Henry established that more normal blood pressure in hospitalized subjects is more apt to be accompanied by E.E.G. The entire community group suffered principally from visual and hearing loss, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, pulmonary disease, arthritis, and joint limitation.
