In this work we deal with the importance of reaching a satisfactory longevity, beginning from the concept that to reach it, it is necessary to have a qualitative life, implying that elder adult might have the possibility of maintaining an active and independent life. For that it is necessary to give information about some diseases, like osteoporosis because it is a predisposing factor to fractures with the consequent level of disability they carry. With that objective we use the University Cathedra of the Elder Adult. This new form of teaching is one of the ways of improving the life quality of the elder people, also answering to a social necessity.Downloads
