Death record Helga Leinonen-Kuusamo-1743

I am unable to translate the wording in the death record of Helga Leinonen. It may not be a cause and it may be Swedish. Will you please review. It states: Sochenfattig Gla.
Thank You
Janice

Sochenfattig = sockenfattig= village poor (poor people who were looked after by common means, by the church at that time)
Gla=gamla=old

- so these are not death causes, unless you count the word old...

Thanks Tuula for getting back to me. She and her husband died in December so the cold, being poor and old was against them. Sadly it is still going on in the 21st century.
Thank you again for your help.
