The study population was described using numbers and percentages of subjects. Quantitative features have been presented with the arithmetic mean and standard deviation. In the assessment of differences between the groups, the Mann\-Whitney non\-parametric U test was used for independent variables. In order to measure the statistical dependence between variables the Spearman’s rank correlation test was performed. In order to study the connection between 2 sets of variables among 3 sets of variables \(I – social status\; II – health status and functional capability\; III – nutritional status\) canonical correlation analysis was undertaken. The majority of the study population were women \(73.76%\). The average age of study participants was 77.59±7.35 years \(65\-100 years\). Hospital patients were admitted for an average of 3.16±2.48 days \(1\-8 days\) and people staying in care institutions were resident for an average of 66.17±55.64 months \(0.5\-216 months\). A significant majority of the study population suffered from multiple diseases \(86.63%\). By far the most frequent diseases diagnosed in the subjects were those of the circulatory system \(80.20%\) and among these the largest percentage suffered from hypertension.Study participants did not vary significantly"]
