Abstract

Even though there are particularities within every age group which can be applied to the entire population, the seniours constitute the population’s most heterogeneous segment and their functioning differs more from one person to another in comparison with the case of other age groups, due to the different aging rhythm, genetic heritage, psycho–spiritual profile, life experience, familial and socio-cultural context that the person lives in, and the events experienced in one’s life. The existing studies point out that there is a great variability and individuality in what concerns the experiencing of the aging process and, implicitly, regarding the experiencing of the various needs and their satisfaction. Therefore, this paper attempts to focus on the elderly and explore the health care status based on gender.
