title: [Economic and medicosocial implications of an ageing population].
abstract: Reference is made to recent statistics in an analysis of the problems presented by an ageing population, with particular emphasis on the economic and medicosocial consequences. An account is given of the most suitable therapeutic and prophyletic approaches to the question, as well of medicosocial programmes which give due weight to the true meaning of geriatric problems.
