title: [Economic aspects of health care for the elderly].
abstract: Group-specific analysis of health care in the Federal Republic of Germany is in its infancy. Health care of the elderly is discussed in regard to health status, utilization, expenditures and financing. The empirical approach offers results that are of importance in a policy context, in particular if they are further developed by an interdisciplinary effort in health services research. The results, if published regularly, provide answers to the question whether supply and utilization of health services correspond with the need of the elderly.
