To update our understanding of the status of elderly health care within the context of the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office's Strategy Paper on Elderly Care (1995), a short questionnaire was sent to all Member States of the Region, except Afghanistan and Somalia. The questionnaire sought information on the proportion of the elderly in the population, the status of health care and the level of economic, social, cultural and physical assistance available to the elderly. Of the 21 countries in the survey, 18 (86%) responded. The findings of the survey are discussed here under the headings of demography, national policies on elderly care, social benefits, health care, social and community services, economic burden and the role of the non-government sector.
为了在东地中海区域办事处《老年护理战略文件》（1995年）的背景下更新我们对老年保健状况的认识，向该区域除阿富汗和索马里之外的所有成员国发送了一份简短问卷。该问卷旨在收集有关老年人口在总人口中的比例、保健状况以及老年人可获得的经济、社会、文化和物质援助水平的信息。在接受调查的21个国家中，有18个（86%）作出了答复。现将调查结果按人口统计学、国家老年护理政策、社会福利、保健、社会和社区服务、经济负担以及非政府部门的作用等标题进行讨论。
