Abstract

[spa] Tres dimensiones de la vida de los ancianos - Bajo la denominación unificadora de tercera y cuarta edad se oculta una amplia diversidad de condiciones de vida. La toma en cuenta simultánea del nivel de vida, estado de salud y soledad rechaza la idea de un fuerte vínculo entre esas dimensiones. La situación que predomina incluye un mal estado de salud, mas sin pobreza ni aislamiento. No obstante, ser pobre, estar solo y enfermo es una situación con la que también se tropieza y que padecen mayormente algunos grupos sociales, tales como antiguas obreras muy ancianas. [fre] Derrière les vocables unificateurs de troisième et quatrième âges se cache une grande diversité de conditions de vie. La prise en compte simultanée du niveau de vie, de l'état de santé et de la solitude rejette l'idée d'une liaison forte entre ces dimensions. La situation prédominante inclut un mauvais état de santé, mais sans « pauvreté » ni isolement. Toutefois, être pauvre, seul et malade est une situation qui se rencontre aussi, et que subissent plus particulièrement certains groupes sociaux comme les anciennes ouvrières très âgées. [eng] Three dimensions of the life of eldery persons - Behind the terms third, and fourth, ages hides a great range of conditions. When one takes into account at the same time the standard of living, the health and the degree of solitude of individuals, it is clear that there is no strong link among these elements. The usual situation of an individual includes a poor state of health, but without any real « poverty », or acute isolation. However, being poor, alone and sick is a situation that one finds on occasion, most often among certain social groups, such as the women workers of an advanced age.
