title: [Application of a geriatric evaluation scale to patients of a closed psychiatric hospital].
abstract: The geriatric scale of Stockton (SGRS) was applied to 135 subjects aged 60 or more (women in a closed psychiatric hospital). This scale differentiates between organic states (dementia) and other diagnoses. The scores are not correlated to subjects' age in dementia. The SGRS also furnishes interesting indications on aging according to various diagnostic groups.
