This publication is the first textbook, covering in a simple and accessible form the foundations of general and social gerontology. Demographic and social changes that have taken place in most countries in the first half of the XX century, were the immediate causes of the rapid development of gerontology. There was a need to train highly qualified specialists - social gerontology focused in old age problems and the ability to resolve them in the social sphere. The manual is addressed to students of higher and secondary social institutions, medical institutions, employees of the social welfare system, doctors who work in residential social care institutions for older people.
