title: [Epidemiology of venous diseases at old age (author's transl)].
abstract: Venous diseases are of interest to gerontology because 1. the morbidity in connection with venous diseases in both men and women increases almost linearly with age 2. more complications, some of them fatal, must be anticipated and 3. a greater percentage of secondary and primary diseases are recorded than in younger people, which must always be included in therapeutic planning.
