6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED STUDY INTRODUCTION

Ageing which is a natural and universal phenomenon has multidimensional process which is not only viewed as biological and medical concern alone but of social, economic, psychological and demographical importance. The emotional support, health care, financial support and socializing activities were left unfulfilled. In the empty nest stage of the life cycle, the person's social obligations, privileges and expectations undergo a change. In other words, we can say that old age is a shift in an individual's position from active social participation to significant decline in role performance and from economic self-sufficiency to economic dependence. The aged feel lonely, dependent and marginalized1. At present, ageing has become a social problem because socio-economic shifts are affecting the ability of the family to continue with traditional care giving roles toward elders. The life of senior citizens becomes more difficult when problems related to fulfilment of basic requirements such as social relations; personal care, nutrition and accommodation are added to old age health problems. This kind of adverse issue results in the impairment of respect of life and reduces the satisfaction acquired from life2. Old age is the last stage of human life span, accompanied with decreasing energy and body resources. According to the internationally accepted definition; an aged is one who is sixty five years of age or above. In India however, all persons who are sixty years or above are considered are included among the aged1. It is terminal stage of the ones life cycle with decreasing energy and the body resources with infirmities due to decaying and weakening of ones bodily organs. According to human growth and developmental chart, old age starts from sixty years till death2.
