Abstract		The article stresses the significance of designating the year 1999 as the international year of the elderly by the United Nations Organization. The paper offers instructions to facilitate a healthy aging and old age which is much too often connoted with disease. Old people should stay active as long as possible, they should take care of themselves and live within their families. Owing to physical weakness, an elderly becomes less independent, feels less secure and, at the same time, the accessibility to his/her friends becomes worse. The work of physical therapist and his counsel can enable better quality of living in old age.
