We selected older patients aged 60\u2009years and above admitted to inpatient departments in public hospitals with mental disorders and nervous system diseases from 2014 to 2018, counting over 160\u2009000 cases each year. Descriptive statistics and odds ratios (ORs) were used to analyse and demonstrate gender differences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to older females, older males had higher occurrences of four mental disorders revealed by OR and 95% confidence interval (CI) values: substance abuse (5.74, 5.08\u20136.49), alcohol use (5.66, 5.44\u20135.89), behavioural problems (1.34, 1.31\u20131.37), and schizophrenia (1.10, 1.06\u20131.14). Lower incidences for older males were seen in the same values for three mental disorders: neurotic issues (0.46, 0.44\u20130.49), mood disorders (0.58, 0.56\u20130.60), and dementia (0.91, 0.88\u20130.94). For neurological disorders, men had similar higher incidences for epilepsy (1.67, 1.63\u20131.72), cerebral palsy (1.61, 1.57\u20131.65), nervous system inflammatory diseases (1.53, 1.46\u20131.60), ischaemic attacks (1.42, 1.36\u20131.48), miscellaneous other nervous disorders (1.20; 1.18\u20131.22), and Parkinson's disease (1.15, 1.12\u20131.19). By contrast, older men had lower incidences of multiple sclerosis (0.55, 0.35\u20130.86), migraines (0.66, 0.62\u20130.70), and Alzheimer's disease (0.75,
