Abstract

In this bibliographic search we have reviewed the indicators of quality of life in the elderly.  These indicators include physical exercise, falls, social support networks, reminiscence, nutrition, etc.  These factors will be addressed from the perspective of other authors and from the elders’ own point of view, with the objective of determining what their current situation is and possible measures that can be applied to improve it.
