Abstract

The health and the care for the elderly can be considered as an issue that attracts attention since the number of elderly is increasing in the countries of the world. This is due to the decrease in death rates among them, and the decline in the risks diseases, injuries and social changes that they might suffer from, as well as the shift in the family pattern from the extended to the nuclear family structure. Therefore, in this paper, we will present the diseases that accompany individuals as they age, based on the National Survey of Family Health of 2002, which was carried out by Algeria within the framework of the Arab project aimed at examining family health.
