[The importance of social factors in the treatment of aged persons].
At the end of life, human abilities decline and diseases become more and more resistant to therapy. But it remains possible to adapt the physical and social environment to the patient's residual capacities. Biological and social medicines are tightly linked. The former is predominant as long as the old patient is self-sufficient; as soon as he becomes dependent, diseases concern more and more the social environment and the social services. During the last decade of human life, medical therapeutics give way to social therapeutics, which are the treatment of the physical and social environment for the patient's comfort.
