title: [Status of the elderly among gypsies].
abstract: An overview of the relevant literature shows that on one side the chronological age is important in the frame of the social position of an old man or woman in a gypsy society, but much more important is the individual itself and its social situation. Only by reaching a very old age no old gypsy can reach an important position in his society.
