摘要
The purpose of the work was to verify whether our MCPS can be a tool for predicting the risk of developing disabilities. We considered 45 elderly subjects divided into three groups of 15 subjects each. Group 1 consisted of cases with a "moderate-severe" degree of polypathology, with no associated condition of disability evaluated by means of the activities of daily living (ADL). Group 2 contained cases with a "moderate" degree of polypathology (with no associated condition of ADL disability). The Group 3 was the control group with a "mild" degree of polypathology (with no disability associated with ADL). All subjects were re-evaluated after 6 and 12 months. Both Group 1 and 2 of cases over time developed greater disabilities, compared to the control Group 3; in particular, the subjects with "moderate-severe" polypathology were more disabled after 12 months.
