Abstract

With the increase in life expectancy and the increase in health care services, the elderly population is increasing all over the world, so many countries are facing problems caused by the increase in the elderly population. On the other hand, due to the special conditions of the elderly and the multiplicity of ailments and lifestyle changes in families, some elderly people who get sick are entrusted to care centers and may move away from the path of a healthy and active old age. Among them, are elderly people who actively live with their families and realize the concept of active aging. In this manuscript, the researcher aims to examine the role of the family in active aging.
