    Abstract:
    A screening of 1462 individuals over 60 years of age in the general population of one of the districts of a large industrial city, detected 28 individuals (1,6% of all studied individuals), with mental disorders, which could be attributed to the schizophrenic spectrum. However, only in 8 cases (0,6%) they could be considered as psychotic forms of schizophrenia requiring active observation or treatment. In the remaining 15 cases (1% of the studied population) the psychotic states (productive disorders) were rudimentary, with a prevalence of deficitary changes. Most individuals with such disturbances were not in need of constant treatment or regular examinations in the dispensary.
