Some authors consider the human aging process as a triumph. This positive perception is understood as a victory of the human beings striving to have better way of life, with the help of science and new technological developments. These and other factors contributed to the improvement of the quality of life, saving human beings of all ages from many diseases, and increasing life expectancy for both men and women. However, in many cases the indiscriminate use of raw materials, without proper control, has contributed to the progressive deterioration of the environmental milieu. Parallel with industrialization, the world population increased with changes in its structure, substantially evident in the second part of the XX century, when an increase in the percentages of people of 60 or more years of age took place. In 1950 the proportion of people over 60 years was 8%, in the year 2000, it increased up to 10%, and is expected to arrive to 21% by 2050. Actually, in Latin-American countries 9% of their population has 60 or more years of age; and by 2050, one out of every five Latin-Americans will be of that age. In the last 50 years, Venezuelan population grew six times, increasing from 5 millions in 1950 up to 28 millions in 2008; about 8% of them are 60 or more years old. These demographic changes urge institutional and public health plans to take proper care to that particular segment of the population. Men and women in their advances ages suffer increased fragility, incapacity, chronic illness and dependency. Aging of population brings to our attention the primary care attention model, to take proper health care of elderly in the community. To achieve that goal, a greater social sensibility from the Venezuelan Government is needed as well as a rational sanitary planning.
