[Adaptive physiopathology of advanced age].
We have considered the so-called "teleological" aspects in many senile diseases that is a kind of effort to compensate alterations due to the aging process, where that process takes place with biological trouble (which happens for most subjects since aging without biological trouble is a prerogative of a minority of privileged people who will have a longevous and healthy life). These "teleological" aspects represent the foundation of the phisiopathology of adaptation in advanced age and the key for a correct interpretation of it and therefore for a correct preventive and curative program.
