title: [Aging of the mentally disabled. Evolution and perspectives of management].
abstract: The aging of the mentally disabled population is a new phenomenon, and will grow in years to come. The main reason is better management of mentally disability. Solutions are already available to deal with the problem of aging among the mentally disabled. As a result, the fact that more and more mentally disabled people are reaching old age should be welcomed, in the same way as the increasing longevity of the general population.
