The House-bound Patients  (1)

I have started my practice of providing medical attention to house-bound patients in February 1998. The following tables describe the patients I visited from 10/2/98 until 31/12/99.

19% of the patients were 65 or below in age. 79% were 66 and above, of whom 37% were 71 to 80, and 42% were 81 to 98. The age of the oldest persons I encountered was 98 (2 ladies and 1 gentleman).

64% of all the patients were female. The females dominate in number after age 66, especially after age 71.
