A descriptive study of the biopsychosocial characteristics of the aging population of two family physicians'offices of the "California" Polyclinic, in San Miguel del Padrón, was conducted in 1995. The Hasegawa's test was applied to determine the mental status of 166 elderly patients, 154 of whom were apt. Their medical histories were reviewed and it was found a predominance of the female sex and that the age groups 60-69 and 70-79 were the most frequent. It was observed that most of them felt satisfied with their lives, although a considerable amount of them were depressed, and that they played an active role in the family and had adequate interpersonal and intergenerational relations
