Abstract:
The aging of the population is a global problem. The mortality rate among the elderly is high. In order to develop a suitable prevention plan, we conducted a descriptive and analytical monocentric cross-sectional study of a sample of people aged 65 and over, autopsied in the forensic medicine department at the Habib-Bourguiba Hospital in Sfax, Tunisia, over a 5-year period. The aim of our study is to establish the epidemiological profile of the victims and to determine the most frequent causes of death among the elderly in the Sfax region.
