Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at making a review of the latest works concerning the topic of aging, particularizing the specificities of the aging process of the neuropsychological functions and their causes, with a view on the social and ethical implications of the psycho-cognitive deterioration entailed by aging and the possible means of intervention for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of pathological mental aging. Our goal is to lay the groundwork for future studies that are to elaborate well-defined guides of the aging phenomenon under all its forms and at all levels it affects.
