Survival and associated biological and psychosocial factors in elderly persons living in institutions in Croatia

The care for older adults emphasizes individualized care, based on life expectancy and person’s characteristics. Different models have described the relationship of biological and psychosocial factors in the prediction of health and survival in old age. Few of these models regarded the living environment effects. The aim of the research was to investigate the associations among biological factors and psychosocial factors in the prediction of survival in old institutionalized persons. Methods: Participants were 505 residents of 11 retirement homes in Zagreb, Croatia, 138 (27%) men, 367 (73%) women, aged 56-96 years (average 79), ambulatory, and not diagnosed with dementia at baseline. Variables were: Life status - alive/deceased ; Biochemical - measured from the vein blood sample, collected at baseline, and: Psychosocial - sociodemographic, self-perceived health, functional ability, cognitive function, depression, and social participation, collected at baseline and at 2-years follow-up, individually, in the institution, by trained interviewers. Sociodemographic characteristics showed specific effects in the observed psychosocial variables, and in survival, e.g. sex. Psychosocial variables significantly contributed to the prediction of survival. However, the latent factor “Biological Status” contributed the most, in explaining and in predicting survival. The implications are in the planning of care for older population in institutions, at the societal and at the individual level.
