Comprehensive geriatric assessment results were analyzed (including self-care and instrumental activities of daily living, cognitive abilities, emotional health, risk of falls, frailty status, dynapenia, nutritional health, morbidity, biochemical parameters, and pharmacotherapy).Results: DM was observed in 126 (30.3%) patients hospitalized in the study period; 4% of DM cases were newly diagnosed. In comparison to patients without DM, older adults with type 2 DM were significantly more frequently burdened with multimorbidity (61.1% versus 39.7%, P< 0.001), polypharmacy (88.9% versus 74.7%, P=0.001), obesity (59.8% versus 34.5%, P< 0.001), abdominal obesity (94.4% versus 75.5%, P< 001), chronic kidney disease (61.1% versus 48.6%, P=0.02) and cardiovascular diseases: ischemic heart disease (66.7% versus 47.9%, P< 0.001), congestive heart failure (50.0% versus 34.1%, P=0.002), atrial fibrillation (30.2% versus 20.7%, P=0.04) and peripheral arterial disease (24.6% versus 11.4%, p< 0.001). There were no significant differences in all functional parameters evaluated.Conclusion: Type 2 DM patients were significantly more often burdened with multimorbidity, polypharmacy, obesity, and had an unfavorable profile of cardiovascular diseases than patients without DM, but – contrary to our expectations – they did not differ in any functional characteristic assessed. However, this may be due to the geriatric ward patients’ specificity of health problems in the advanced, more complex disablement process phases.Keywords: diabetes, older adults, geriatric department, comprehensive geriatric assessment, obesity, disability, chronic diseases, multimorbidityWojszel ZBMagnuszewski LDove Medical Pressarticlediabetesolder adultsgeriatric departmentcomprehensive geriatric assessmentobesitydisabilitychronic diseasesmultimorbiditySpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 4599-4607 (2020)
