Our research has elucidated the important role of family life and intimate sphere for the way of living of women in the conversion phase (40-60 years). It is shown that negative factors lie in too hard housework, in deficiency of help by husband, in familiar conflicts and conflicts of married life, and in unfavourable conditions of employment. The necessity of integrating gerosexualhygiene in measures for preparing for an active and harmonious old age was deduced from our results.
