Most of them were women \(n=182, 70%\). Mostly, the patients' partners were the caregivers of the patients\; the second largest group of caregivers were the children of the respondents. Patients using the help of caregivers were older \(p=0.001\), less educated and more often lived in rural areas \(p<0.001\) compared to people who did not use the care of others. Seniors with caregivers had higher scores in some areas of the CGA, i.e. in CFS \(p=0.008\) and in AIS \(p=0.049\). It was shown that these people obtained lower results in the ADL and IADL scales \(in both cases p<0.001\), which indicates the presence of difficulties in everyday functioning. In terms of the agreement between the opinion of caregivers of the seniors and the screening assessment in the areas included in the CGA, it was shown that caregivers correctly identified deficits in basic and complex activities of daily living. At the same time, they had problems with identifying the presence of cognitive disorders and depression. Conclusions 1.
