title: [Understanding malaise occurring in elderly people].
abstract: Due to the potential seriousness of its consequences, particular attention must be paid to malaise occurring in elderly people. It represents between 5 and 10% of hospital admissions of patients over the age of seventy. A full clinical examination as well as some additional examinations usually enable the cause(s) to be identified. Cardio-vascular and iatrogenic pathologies are the most frequent aetiologies.
