[Dynamics of the age structure of residents in homes for the aged and nursing homes]. 1986

A Lengwinat, and P Winiecki

In state-run residential and nursing homes in the GDR the proportion of those residents of at least 80 years of age increased from 41.5 to 56.0 p.c. between 1980 and 1983, diversified on districts they moved between 70.0 and 46.5 p.c. Some selected features were correlated, only a low degree of dependence being found on the age-structure of the district-population (r = +0.26), highest degree on the ratio home-capacity/district-population (r = -0.65).
