Abstract

The biological condition of the elderly men (65-84) was evaluated on the sample of 604 persons. The morphological and physiological traits were examined. The measure of the biological condition was proposed. The measure referred the distribution of the trait in the elderly to the distribution of the same trait in the young men.
