Abstract
Age is the period of the life of human in which biological, psychological and social resources are in constant decline. Today the population of elderly people is more numerous and life expectancy is constantly increasing. The population of elderly people is getting the characteristics of marginal groups. Aging thus becomes a planetary phenomenon that attracts the attention of experts of different profiles. Regardless of whether people will spend their old days in their home or residential facility, the need for psychological and physical engagement and social interaction required to be met. As in any other activity of professionals, skills assessment is the first step in creating a treatment plan. In this essay, we pointed out the differences between male and female examinees older than 65 years in terms of activities of daily living, communication skills, movement activity, choice of free-time activities and participation in program activities and manual activities. We found statistic...ally significant differences in these activities between the examined groups. These results point out that planning of treatment, among other things, must take into account gender difference.
