Aging is a natural process but at a similar period, the aging population has substantially increased. Socially this stage is considered as the sum total of ones lived experiences. Hence, the society offers a space of respect to the old. In such society the aged are the repositories, transmitters, and soul authorities of wisdom and knowledge. All these provide a ¿golden age¿ concept to this stage. Keeping these points in mind, an attempt was made to evaluate the oral and mental health of older persons who live in OAH and family set-up.
