We summarized the discussion. Results : We generally agree that many of the conditions of decrepit old age are not time-determined, but are the results of preventable and tretable illness. Rates of aging and senescence vary mar kedly in the aged. This has also been observed in different organ systems of the body. The compre hensive geriatric assessment developed in response to the complexity of medical, psychological and social problems occurred in older people. It wil be more necessary to develop Korean culture specific assessment tools. The proportion of the aged population to the whole is expected to reach 6.8% in the year 2000 and 12.5 % in 2020, fore casting that Korea will indeed enter the era of an aging society in the early 21st century. In Korea geriatric diseases have the characteristic structure having multiple entities. The most common me dical problem is arthralgia (with 57.8 % of 65 and older). In Korea, there are three kinds of medica care programs for the aged : medical insurance medical assistance, and health screening. Conclusion : The desire for the improvement of older people s health is increasing now in Korea. Thus KGS suggests The Guidelins for The Age.
