A ‘gray tsunami’ is expected with the increasing number of elderly people in our aging country. Aging and the risks posed by aging due to biopsychosocial factors also make these cases a public health problem. Taking all kinds of protective measures that will ensure the physical, psychological and social well-being of the elderly will ensure that our elderly age in a healthy way. Aging is not a disease but a physiological and social condition. Multidisciplinary studies and service models that enable this situation to be managed through a well-designed process from birth to death are becoming as important as demographic change.
