Abstract
This study analyzed all medical institutions located in the Yeongbuk area of Gangwon Province by dividing the use of medical institutions by "including nursing hospitals" and "excluding nursing hospitals" from 2003 to 2017. As a result, high blood pressure, dementia, musculoskeletal diseases, small-scale mechanical diseases, and other diseases were accounted for in the use of hospitalization for the elderly (including nursing hospitals) in the Yeongbuk region. In the case of hospitalization use of the elderly population (excluding nursing hospitals), blood and circulation machine diseases, digestive and urinary system diseases, mental diseases, and other diseases, including high blood pressure, were shown in the order. Therefore, the treatment and health care of the elderly are very important, and the expansion of public health organizations is necessary to establish governance with local medical institutions, organizations, universities, etc. Based on this, health projects should be carried out at a preventive level to maintain a healthy life for senior citizens in Yeongbuk, Gangwon-do.
