Dementia and work load were estimated in 4736 elderly home-nursed or institutionalized persons. Mental status was estimated by means of the Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR), and work load by means of a traditional work load scale. Approximately one third of elderly over 85 years were living in an institution. 4.6% of the population over 65 years of age were moderately to severely and 1.8% mildly demented. Work load increased with increasing dementia. In homes for the aged 40% and in nursing homes 85% of the residents create a heavy work load. 14.5% of the estimated population are considered misplaced, the majority of whom should be transferred to a higher care level. Dementias cause a major problem on every care level. Services which are lacking for this group and necessary rehabilitation facilities should be provided.
对4736名居家护理或机构养老的老年人进行了痴呆症和工作量评估。通过临床痴呆评定量表（CDR）评估精神状态，通过传统工作量量表评估工作量。85岁以上的老年人中约有三分之一住在机构中。65岁以上人群中，4.6%为中度至重度痴呆，1.8%为轻度痴呆。随着痴呆症程度的加重，工作量也会增加。在养老院中，40%的居民以及在疗养院中85%的居民产生了繁重的工作量。估计有14.5%的人群安置不当，其中大多数人应被转到更高护理级别。痴呆症在各个护理层面都造成了重大问题。应为这一群体提供缺乏的服务和必要的康复设施。
