摘要：The optimum quality of life depends mostly on a good physical and mental health condition in the third age. Therefore, the term "health-related life style" became repeated more and more frequently in a link with the prevention of diseases evoked by modern life. Since the genetic predisposition to some disease is a primary factor, the attention regarding the sound life style (helping to influence positively the genetic predisposition) is required. A good physical and mental health condition results from good conditions of an individual during the life. The impairment of a harmony among various physiological processes in the hormonal, immune a nervous systems leads to a disruption resulting in various psychosomatic and later in the classic clinical health impairment or diseases. The life expectancy in the developed countries was found to be longer if compared to the situation in the former socialistic countries. Therefore they face the problems how to improve the potential health of their seniors, and zero-growth populations. The impaired quality of environment and different life style during several last decades between the developed and developing countries might be responsible for this difference. The optimum life quality of seniors depends in a majority on their sound life style even from the youth.
