This study analysed type and number of comorbidities and medication of PWD in LTF. A descriptive-study was conducted in 40 LTF, characterising 329 PWD. Socio-demographics, dementia type, comorbidities and medication were collected with International-Classification-of-Functionality-checklist.

Hypertension, osteoarticular-problems, heart-disease and type-II-diabetes were the frequently comorbidities. 327 participants consumed one or more medicines (7.3 ± 3.2), mainly for cardiovascular system, anxiolytics and antipsychotics.
