The decrease in the birth rate, together with the increase in life expectancy, generated by scientific advances and improvements in hygiene and dietary habits, are leading to a progressive aging of the population. Therefore, in recent times there has been a greater interest in the study of both aging and the quality of life of elderly people.
Quality of life constitutes a broad and variable concept, which goes beyond the state of health and encompasses other aspects related to physical, mental and social well-being, such as the economy, education, leisure activities or personal satisfaction.
Through this subject we will try to highlight those modifiable aspects, on which action can be taken so that older people achieve an adequate quality of life.
