They suffer mostly from restriction of routine physical activity (78%), backache (66%) and joint disorders(54%), insomnia (88%), reduced social enthusiasm (88%), difficulty in concentrating(76%) and financial needs(50%) Conclusion: It is established that attempts on the part of the authorities and non-governmental organization are strongly needed to promote basic income, medical services, social care, relaxation and other needs of the elderly, which can go a long way toward minimizing the issues of the elderly.
