Method: Data was collected by visiting nurse from 556 elderly over 65 years in selected metropolitan areas. To evaluate the functional state of elderly in the community, I used "RAI-MDS HC; Residental Assessment Instrument Minimum Data Set-Home Care(2.0 version)" and established information exchange system among resources, by developing the data into a computer program.
Results: The health problem of ’preventive health measures’ was the largest(99.6%), and then ’health promotion(85.3%)’, ’visual function(75.5%)’, ’psychologic drug(68.9%)’, ’pain(68.5%)’, ‘social function(59.2%)’, ’communication disorders(56.2%)’, ’environmental assessment(53.2%)’, ’depression & anxiety(46.9%)’, ’oral health(43.4%)’ followed. The number of health problems was average 10.16 in the community-dwelling elderly.
