The population is a family that has elderly or elderly, although different from home and others. The sample was taken by purposively as many as 124 families. Dependent variable is state of mental health of elderly and independent is characteristic of family (age, education, occupation, residence status). The analysis is done by using chi square. Outcome: Age and family work related to mental health. Educational background, family residence status not related to mental health of elderly.
