The population of older adults is growing fast, especially in Europe and Northern America. Old age is often associated with mental health comorbidities. Moreover, life expectancy of people suffering from psychiatric disorders has increased, but with age-related difficulties, such as loss of independence. This represents a challenge for public health policies, as this population requires specific care and living conditions. As a response, a convention was signed between living facilities for dependent elderly (EHPAD) and the GHU Paris Psychiatry and Neurosciences. The agreement included dedicated places in EHPAD for older patients with psychiatric disorders. The aim of the study was to describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of those patients.

从精神病院到住宅设施：受益于机构伙伴关系的患者特征

老年人口正在快速增长，尤其是在欧洲和北美。老年通常与心理健康合并症有关。此外，患有精神疾病的人的预期寿命有所增加，但伴随着年龄相关的困难，例如丧失独立性。这对公共卫生政策提出了挑战，因为这一人群需要特定的护理和生活条件。作为回应，受抚养老年人生活设施 (EHPAD) 与 GHU 巴黎精神病学和神经科学之间签署了一项公约。该协议包括在 EHPAD 中为患有精神疾病的老年患者提供专门的位置。该研究的目的是描述这些患者的社会人口学和临床特征。
