Abstract :
This study is an attempt to assess the levels of somatic distress and anxiety in a sample of 100 elderly in the age group of 60–70 years, living in semi urban and rural areas of Rayalaseema region of A.P. The levels of somatic distress and anxiety were analyzed by using CMI Index ‘A’ and an adapted version of Beck’s anxiety Inventory. Findings on somatic distress and anxiety levels across socio demographic variables viz., age, gender, education, marital status and financial status have policy implications in promoting psychosocial well being of older adults
