ABSTRACT
Aging is a process that affects all living organisms, has biological and social effects and cannot be prevented. It is predicted that the elderly population will continue to increase rapidly as a result of the prolongation of the expected human life expectancy. Anatomical and physiological changes that develop during the aging process cause functional changes in elderly health. Urological problems, which constitute the majority of these functional changes that reduce the quality of life in old age, are becoming increasingly important in terms of ensuring psychosocial and physical well-being in the elderly.
Keywords: Old age; elderly; urologic problems
