title: [Chronic handicaps and social integration in the aged. Results from the Somipops health survey].
abstract: Findings of the first Swiss health Survey Somipops are presented. The percentage of long-term disability as well as the number of disabilities per person increases with age. On the other hand social activities decrease with age. For persons aged 65-84 with long-term disability these tendencies are stronger than for those without disability.
