Abstract
The gradual aging of the population sensitively registered from the early decades of the twentieth century, due to the improvement of nutrition and hygienic conditions, led in the early 1940s at the birth of Geriatric Medicine, the discipline that deals with the care of the elderly. From the work of Marjory Warren to the development of Gerovital H3 by Ana Aslan, the article outlines the profound change of the idea of old age; from sad but inevitable condition of life to pathology to be treated medically, surrounded by a strong and pervasive business.File in questo prodotto:
