This pilot study describes the characteristics of social contact patterns of the elderly, a group at high-risk for contracting infections. A cross-sectional design was used. Participants included 30 volunteers aged 65years or older. Records of a contact diary were maintained for a period of 24-hr. Thirty participants recorded 340 contacts within the 24hr period, with a mean of 11.3 people daily. Physical encounters accounted for 50.9% of contacts. Participants with an occupation had significantly higher contacts than those without (p=.013).
