Background: In our country, the survey on mental condition of Mongolian elderly, in particularly on assessing the cognitive status has not provided yet. Goal: To determine the cognitive status of elderly and find out some factors which affect on it. Objectives:1. Determine the cognitive ability of Mongolian elderly2. Find out some factors which affect the cognitive ability of elderlyMaterials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, we had chosen randomizily 1 cluster from each 4 economic and geographic regions of Mongolia and Ulaanbaatar city, and totally comprised of 1207 elderly, of which 60 and over for male and 55 and over for female. The cognitive status of survey involved elderly was evaluated by mini mental examination test (MMET).Results: The mean age of survey involved elderly was 68.1±8.1 (68.9±6.5 in male and 65.7±8.5 in female). While 60.3(728) percent of elderly people were normal, 39.7(479) percent of them estimated to have cognitive decline. Out of elderly with cognitive decline, 59.5 percent had slight cognitive impairment, 35.1 percent moderate cognitive impairment and rest 5.4 percent had severe cognitive impairment. The cognitive impairment predominantly revealed in female and prevailed more in elderly who live in countryside compared to elderly who live in the city (P<0.001). The cognitive impairment was related to educational background of elderly who had cognitive decline. Along the decline of education estimated higher level of cognitive impairment, as well as 47.5 percent of male and 53.8 percent of female, who had lower education, shared most percentage of cognitive impairment, compared to other educational levels.The cognitive impairment is directly correlated to decline of Activity of daily living and Instrumental activity of daily living of elderly (p<0,0001).Conclusions:1. The decline of cognitive status of elderly is correlated to gender. The educational background, income and family are related to their cognitive impairment.2. Activity of daily living and Instrumental activity of daily living have direct correlation to cognitive impairment of elderly.

Introduction: Findings of study on disability types among Mongolian population confirm that 16631 (15.4) refers to visual impairment, speech and language disability 5999 (5.6), hard of hearing 12633 (11.7), mobility impairment 31265 (28.9), intellectual impairment 20898 (19.3) and other disabilities 20645 (19.1). There is no other study which assessed disability prevalence and some determinant factors which lead to disability and health status among older (ages women 55+, men 60+) disabled Mongolians. Goal: To assess the reason and type among disabled older Mongolians Materials and methods: This study was conducted on a random sample of disabled elderly people residing in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Study is based on questionnaire and interview to indicate some health conditions. We used formal methods to assess activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living of disabled older people.Result: The sample represented 46.2% of men and 53.8% women in respondents. Median age of respondents was 75.2±10.5 (men 74.2±8.7, women 76.2±11.8). While 72.3% of respondents did physical work, 25.4% respondents did intellectual work and only 2.3% respondents had physical-intellectual work. According to the types of disability, 36.7% of respondents had mobility impairment, 16.7% of elder people had visual disability and 12.2% of respondents had hearing impairment. While 94.6% respondents had acquired disability, 4.6% respondents had congenital disability. In terms of activities of daily living, 76.2% of respondents had difficulty in bathing independently, 38.5% with dressing, and 62.3% had moving limitations at home.Conclusions:1. Mobility disability is higher (36.7%) than other types of disability among disabled older people.2. About 76.2% respondents had disability because of some diseases, about 8.5% about 8.5% from occupational disease, about 3.1% respondents from industrial injuries and about 11.5% respondents because of home injuries.3. Disability with activities of daily living is about 48% among disabled older people and the highest disabled daily activity is bathing, about 76.2%. Disability with instrumental activities of daily living is about 66% in disabled older people and the highest disabled instrumental activity is about 90%, is walking in long distance.4. According to this conclusion, disabled older people will greatly increase to demand health and social care assistance.

Introduction: The issue of meeting need of rehabilitation care service required to elders is one of determinants which influences in enabling quality of life of elderly people. In our country, we lack of survey on determining current need of long term care and one of its form rehabilitation care service for the elderly, so it became the background of the research. Goal: Reveal some needs of rehabilitation care service through determining the Activities of daily living and Instrumental Activities of daily living of Mongolian elderly people Materials and Method: The research was carried out by cross sectional method. In the research was involved 1207 elderly, who are retired, of which 60 and over for male and 55 and over for female from one cluster of each economic and geographic regions of Mongolia. The research was conducted by using ADL and IADL tests as well as questionnaire to determine the needs of rehabilitation care service. Results: Out of survey involved 1207 elderly, 32.5 percent (392) referred to men, 67.5 percent (815) to women, and their mean age was 68.1±8.1 (68.9±6.5 in male and 65.7±8.5 in female). While 473 elderly were from Ulaanbaatar city, 734 of them were from 4 regions of countryside. Among survey involved elderly, the mean of ADL ability was 87.4 percent, of which, the following abilities were better such as: continence (92.5%), toileting (91.3%), dressing (87.9%), while bathing ability was impaired mostly or 18.2 percent. Subsequently, the mean of IADL ability among survey involved elderly was found to be 29.9 percent. The health needs of elderly were differed. Due to extensive indicator, 24.8 percent of elderly wanted to admit in a hospital, 20.8 percent - home nursing care and 32.6 percent -involvement in rehabilitation care service. In terms of amount, the maximum needs were eight, while most of elderly requested 1-3 kinds of needs. Conclusions: 1. The impairment of Activity of Daily Living was found to be approximately 22.6 percent, while Instrumental Activity of Daily Living was 29.9 percent among Mongolian elderly people. 2. The impairment level of Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living indicated the requirement of occupational and physical therapy in health care service for the elderly.

Introduction: The mental and behavioral diseases affect in loneliness and discrimination of elderly people and mostly reduce the quality of life of elderly people compared to injury and accidence. Wulf Rossler, Switzerland mentioned that all kinds of mental diseases require long term care, especially rehabilitation. In our country, we lack of survey on determining psychosocial rehabilitation needs for the elderly, therefore it became the background of the research. Goal: Determine the psychosocial rehabilitation needs of Mongolian elderly people Method and materials: The research was carried out by cross sectional method. In the research was involved 1207 elderly, who are retired, of which 60 and over for male and 55 and over for female from one cluster of each economic and geographic regions of Mongolia. The research was conducted by using Geriatric depression test, Spielberg Hanin test to reveal anxiety, Mini mental examination test to assess the cognitive status and AUDIT test to evaluate the alcohol usage. The diagnoses were put according to ICD-10 based on geriatric examination. Results: Out of survey involved 1207 elderly, 32.5 percent (392) referred to men, 67.5 percent (815) to women, and their mean age was 68.1±8.1 (68.9±6.5 in male and 65.7±8.5 in female). While 473 elderly were from Ulaanbaatar city, 734 of them were from 4 regions of countryside. In terms of mental and behavioral diseases, anxiety and depression were prevailing among Mongolian elderly. Thirty eight point five percent of survey involved elderly investigated to have depression and 44 percent - anxiety. Moreover, dementia was found 36 and sleep disorder 28 per 1000 elders. Twenty three point six percent of elderly had slight cognitive impairment, 13.9 percent moderate cognitive impairment, while 2.1 percent had severe cognitive impairment. The cognitive impairment is differed in terms of region. The moderate cognitive impairment predominantly revealed in mountainous and eastern regions, while the severe cognitive impairment was prevailing in central and eastern regions. Due to classification of needs of elderly into medical, financial and other needs, found that, 37 percent of elderly required medical, 33 percent financial and 37 percent other needs. In terms of psychosocial needs, 30.4 percent wanted to have a place for spending free time, 23.9 percent to make new friends and 6.1 percent to hire a job. Also 4.4 percent of elderly had a need of having a caregiver. Conclusions: 1. Out of mental and behavioral diseases, anxiety (38.5 percent) and depression (44 percent) were prevailing among elderly. 2. Each Mongolian elderly had need of 1-2 psychosocial needs. 3. All kinds of psychosocial rehabilitation including the medical, adaptation enhancing and social rehabilitation are equally required for the elderly people.

Introduction:When a central nervous system disorder (meningitis, encephalitis, hemorrhage, leukemia infltration and other neoplasma) is present, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shows various changes that reflected the condition. Therefore it is essential to test CSF. Different types of CSF tests include cell count; cell differentiation; chemistry; immunology; microbiology and molecular biology. CSF cell count and cell differentiation in particular, are crucial in differentiating diagnosing various CNS disorder needing immediate care and in evaluating the treatment. The patient’s prognosis largely depends on how accurate diagnosis was done and how early treatment was provided. There for CSF test require high precision and accuracy. In Mongolia until now 2st and 3st level hospital using manual method for CSF cell count and cell differentiation test. In this test has 2 actual problems, which is depends on the analytical techniques, skills and sample stability specific problem. But in Japan in 2011 newly designed Sysmex XN Series hematology analyser with body fluid mode (CSF,pleural effusion, peritoneal and synovial fluid). On The First Central Hospital of Mongolia In 2013 frst timeinstalled Sysmex XN-2000 hematology analyser andpossible use of body fluid automatic testing methods.Materials and methods:We evaluated the basic assay performance of the body fluid mode on the automated hematology analyzer XN-2000, which is used for analysis of CSF fluid. We compared between the manual method and XN-2000 analysis for nucleated (WBC), mononuclear (MN) and polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells was also randomly studied using 10 CSF samples of inpatient section our hospital.Results:In CSF samples the coeffcient correlation(r) for WBC/µl, MN%, PMN% were respectively 0.83, 0.95 ба 0.95.Discussion:The correlation for MN%, PMN% were between automate and manual method was good, that is similar to the other researchers. Whereas the correlation for WBC/µl slightly low, this was probably correlation relatively weak or show discrepancies. In introduction inscriptive in analysis accuracy can to affect analytical techniques skills, sample stability and specifc many problems. Therefore scientifc studied and proven ability specifcity, sensitivity, reproducibility, quality, personnel low cost and spend less time, automatically Sysmex XN series hematology analyzer is desirable to domesticate an appropriate level of medical laboratories.
