Abstract

      Over the course of their lives, and as a result of scientific and technological progress, the stage of the elderly has become at a continuous rate of rise in the total population, which necessitates the urgent need to work to raise the health efficiency of this segment so that it does not represent a burden on the state, and that the elderly individual is a producer and not a consumer.
