N2 - On the basis of factor analysis using the PCA (principal component analysis) technique an attempt was made to identify the determinants of pathology development in old and elderly patients with an estimate of their influence on the population of northwest Russia. Medical data records of 712 patients aged from 59 to 98 of both genders were analyzed. It was established that factor 1 is associated with marital status, living conditions, family relationships, bad habits, appearance, diet, hearing and visual impairment, and intestinal dysrhythmia, ability to move, and sleep disorders. Factor 2 accounted for aging-related diseases, such as cerebral stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, thyroid disease, Parkinson's disease, lung diseases, anemia, arthrosis, osteoporosis, the number of surgeries, and joint diseases. Factor 3 was found to be associated with self-care ability before and after hospitalization with the MMSE estimate of the mental state of patients after hos
