A nonrandomized examination of 1,640 patients aged 60 years and over was carried out at the outpatient gerontologic department set up on the basis of the district psychoneurologic center. Among them, women were evidently dominant (71.8%). The ratio of borderline disorders to psychotic ones was 67 to 33%. Distribution according to the disease entities showed that over 1/3 of them suffered from schizophrenia. The later disease onset was recorded but in 17.1%. Vascular psychoses in the whole patients' group accounted for 28%. Besides, analysis of primary consultations was made. The number of patients who referred for medical aid amounted to 426. About half of them were patients aged 70 years and over. The data obtained support the necessity of the development of extra-hospital forms of gerontopsychiatry services.
