Abstract
Of 195 inhabitants of 2 old-age institutions, 8.8% showed a positive Waller-Rose test and 8.2% a positive latex-fixation test, which is a very much lower incidence than that found in a similar series of aged persons by other investigators.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
