Is there a way to adjust for...

I study a population of 900 hip fracture elderly. This type of patient has extreme high mortality (10% at 30 days and 30% at 1 year). The strongest predictors for death are age and gender. These two overshadow any other possible predictor (like co-morbidity, complications etc).
Is there a way to adjust for these two predictors without the need of stratifying the data according to age and gender?

I used the SPSS logistic regression were the dependent variable is dead/alive and the rest are covariates. Method is Enter.

Thanks
