Abstract
Gerontology is not yet part of education or research in Tanzania. Descriptive analyses are valuable to determine the status quo of the living conditions of elderly people and thereby the basis for prospective gerontological discussions. The purpose of this article was to inquire about available data to describe the living conditions of old people in Tanzania, their problems, and potentials. Thereby, age definitions and the demographic development are examined and data sources from the Tanzanian statistical coverage, the SAGE pilot study as well as data from various research projects are discussed. The article closes with recommendations for a more extensive scientific analysis of the topic "Aging in Tanzania" as well as references for its implementation.
