The authors carried out the psychiatric, neurological and physical examination of persons requesting periodical (every 2 yr) preventive clinical gerontological examinations as well as the examination of their self-evaluation by means of the Dembo-Rubinstein test. The results of the examination showed that the persons who presented themselves for the health examination have a more unfavorable picture of their overall psychic condition than of their health state. The explorative material of the neurotic and slightly depressive patients contains serious conflicts which took place at an earlier stage in life. This latter subgroup of patients at an advanced age generally have no more actual conflict situations. The other subgroup of persons who lay stress on somatic complaints, are characterized by an actual conflict situation. As for their psychic situation and harmonic affectivity the men, the married people and the intellectuals, belonging to the leader strata, were in a relatively favorable position within the examined group.
