Abstract
Care of the aged necessitates a functional diagnosis, with which physicians have little familiarity. The author reviews the principles of autonomy and dependence, applying them to the health care context. He proposes a method of sifting the necessary factors in measuring functional autonomy in elderly people.Entities:
