Leading and shaping of life should have a positive influence also on the psychic health until the old age. One of the marks of geropsychohygiene is to shape this process. Therefore the new role of the active old people as integrated member of society must be defined and mediated a real attitude to the ageing. There are given geropsychohygienic impulses for interdisciplinary working with this problems. There is demonstrated by the thematic complexes intelligence, reactivity and ability to learn, that introductions on the necessary regress of such psychic results with the age are scientifically refuted. Concensions for the preparing on the age are contained in the demand consciously to put in special training, positive motivations and contacts to the environment for maintenance of the psychic efficiency.
