Summary/Abstract: Health is an essential component of the quality of life of the elderly, being measured mostly by the use of the subjective appreciation indicator. The self-estimated health of Romanian and European elderly, the life expectancy, the morbidity, the mortality, the level of health-care expenses, all these lead to differentiated diagnoses of health-care, with a special relevance in the context of the general ageing of the population, and European integration. The use of health-care services, the social health, and the encouraging of a healthy life style are approached from the perspective of promoting health policies which ensure access to quality health-care services, financially sustainable.
