The objective of the present study was to identify and analyze variables which facilitate and difficult the individual adaptation during the aging process. A case study was made to identify some variables that can increase and decrease the probability of aging adaptation . Among those aspects that can increase the probability of a well-succeeded aging are: autonomy, self acceptance, support network, religious belief. The variables that influence negatively the aging process are: aging denial, isolation, conformist mystical religious posture and present alienation. The results confirm the study as the interview seems to be adapted to the aging process, regarding to the developed abilities during lifetime, and the actual contingencies.
