The medicosocial evaluation of the elderly from the family physicians offices 29.1 and 29.2 of the "California" Polyclinic, municipality of San Miguel del Padrón, was made in 1996. All the patients or their relatives were surveyed when the mental health of the former was not good. A higher prevalence of the normal mental status was found. The requirement of periodical medical attention was frequent. Most of the patients lived with their relatives, were partially integrated to community, and were able to take their medicines without any help, to carry out activities inside and outside the house, and to meet their basic needs
