Abstract

The Statistical Office of the European Union notes that in Spain in 2007, 15.7% of the population was over 65 years of age and that the forecast for the year 2050 will be 34.1%, becoming one of the countries older Europeans [1]. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), due to decreases in the birth rate and mortality, in Spain 1-1-2011 there were 8 million people over 65 years old, corresponding 5.1% of the total to elderly people of 80 years or older and in this age group 5% had two or more chronic diseases (CD). However, since longevity is a determining factor in chronicity, it is not correct to associate CD with an elderly person because there are other age groups that also suffer from it [2].
