Korzystanie z usług uzdrowiskowych przez osoby w starszym wieku
Abstract
The elderly people account for about 30 per cent of all patients treated in Polish health resorts. On the basis of studies
conducted in a sample of six health resorts the author makes an
attempt at estimation of frequency with which the elderly
people benefit from health-resort services. It appeared that
most men and women visiting health resorts were between 50 and
54 years of age. The elderly people were visiting health resorts much more frequently than younger people. Men over 60
years of age benefit from the health services in these resorts
twice as of ten as the national average while women’s share is
by 40 per cent higher than the national average. Older men tend
to visit health resorts more frequent y than women and the difference in frequency of visits grows along with age: frequency
of visits in health resorts decreases in the case of people over
sixty years of age, and it abruptly declines for people over
70 years of age.'
