Summary

Giant cell arteritis is the leading cause of vasculitis in the elderly. No work evaluates its impact on autonomy. At the diagnosis a gerontological evaluation will be carried out including the scores ADL, iADL, MNA, SF 36, SPPB, FRIED and GDS. A monthly telephone reassessment will collect ADL and iADL. The end-of-study consultation at M12, conducted by a geriatrician, will have the same scores as at M0. This will make it possible to evaluate the difference in the functional autonomy score between M0 and M12 in the elderly with ACG.
