Abstract
Old age is traditionally considered to be synonymous with deteriorating physical and mental health. There are well-recognized health problems which accompany old age. Vision dwindles, hearing diminishes, bones become weak, muscle tone decreases, and memory starts failing. Ageing is a normal universal change taking place even with the best nutrition & health care. During the old age, the scope & sphere of their social interaction is reduced mainly in the family circle. Studies have shown that most common old age problems are economical dependency, loneliness, insecurity and diminished self-concept. In the families when the elderly cease their functional ability they may viewed as a burden for the family, community and may end up in institutionalization.
Keywords: Elderly Population; Elderly Problems.
