Background The global incidence of dengue has increased with the ageing population. We examined the prevalence, clinical manifestations and risk factors associated with dengue severity among older patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a hospital in Thailand from 2013 to 2018. Data were collected from patient records. Older patients were those aged ≥60 y, whereas adult patients were aged at least 18 y but younger than 60 y. Results In total, 1822 patients were included in the study. The prevalence of older dengue was 7.96%. Older dengue patients were at a higher risk of developing dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) than adult dengue patients (40.69% vs 30.71%). Haematuria was significantly more frequent in older patients (24.82% vs 3.58%), whereas other clinical manifestations had similar frequencies between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that hypertension (adjusted OR [aOR]=3.549, 95% CI 1.498 to 8.407) and abdominal pain (aOR=10.904, 95% CI 1.037 to 114.710) were significantly associated with DHF among older patients. Conclusions Dengue is common in older adults, who also have a higher incidence of developing DHF. Older patients with dengue and comorbid hypertension and abdominal pain should be monitored for their increasing risk of DHF.

Background. Aging is a natural process in the body that everyone will experience as they get older. However, aging is not the same in each individual due to several differences such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, and overall health. Therefore, the Surabaya city government is trying to help elderly people who do not have any caregivers by scouting and gathering them at Griya Werdha. Objective. This study aimed to provide a feeding program for the elderly and determine the risk of kidney failure experienced by the elderly living in Griya Werdha. Materials and Methods. This research was a cross-sectional study with 44 elderlies as the samples. The data collected included elderlies’ blood pressure, weight, height, and urine. Moreover, the elderly were also interviewed on food waste, exercise habits, and sleeping habits using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression and the chi-square test to find the association between the variables. Results. The results showed a significant association was found between education and blood in the urine (p=0.036) and the association was not found between education and nutritional status (P=0.392) also systole blood pressure (P=0.373). Association also was not found between glucose in urine (P=0.522), positive leukocyte (0.184), positive blood in the urine (P=0.671), and the risk of CKD. Conclusions. In conclusion, the elderly with low education can be at risk for certain diseases.
