[Continuing work after 64 years of age and postural balance.].

The objective of this study was to assess the components of postural balance among working and non-working men and women aged 65-69. A total of 120 people within the age range of 65-69 were screened. The first group included 30 female and 30 male patients who continued working beyond retirement.

[Older age vitality and retirement (literature review).].

The article provides a review of research literature on the social and psychological peculiarities of working and non-working pensioners with additional new data on their life quality. Six psychographic profiles of pensioners based on their post-retirement activities and motivations for new life path choices were described and examined, enabling identification of the subjects' personality types. These data are essential for psychologists and social workers consulting people approaching retirement age and recent retirees on their retirement lifestyle, ways to organize their working life and effective (creative) pastime, including career development later in life, without sacrificing their physical and mental health.

[Concepts of modern gerontology and geriatrics and the role of nutrition in their achievement].

Many factors take part in increasing the healthy period of life - the quality of the environment, drinking water, psychological attitudes in society, dietary patterns, comfort of living, quality of housing, economic relations in the state and society, the degree of landscaping and much more. Collectively, the factors that lead to a healthier and longer life are called the environment that promotes longevity. The scientific study of such an environment, changing everyday life in terms of its quality related to health and increasing duration, is the newest trend in anti-aging medicine.

The Clinical Management of Deconditioned Patient.

The current study was designed to investigate the clinical management of deconditioned patients. In the current study, we investigate the clinical manifestations of deconditioned patients. A subacute functional deficiency was determined when getting up from a supine position and developing tachycardia with an increase in heart rate by 30 or more per minute for 10 minutes.

[Characteristics of the coordinated motor response and voluntary shift of the center of gravity in women aged 85-95.].

The objective of this study was to identify the age-related peculiarities of the coordinated motor response and voluntary shift of the center of gravity (COG) in females aged 85-95. A total of 68 women within the age range of 85-95 were screened, mean age (М±SD) - 89,3±3. The first group comprised 37 women between the chronological ages of 85 and 89 (mean age: 86,9±1,6).

[Aging foot syndrome: patients screening and routing.].

The article proves that when providing medical and social care to patients of older age groups, it is advisable to pay attention not only to the patients' somatic and geriatric status, but also to perform screening of local geriatric syndromes that affect the patients' functional status, such as, in particular, aging foot syndrome. Implementation of rehabilitation treatment measures that we propose allows to maintain the patients' mobility level and consequently their general functional capability level and quality of life.

[Effect of pharmacotherapy on collagen metabolism in patients with heart failure with middle range ejection fraction of senile age.].

Of particular interest is the study of the mechanisms of development of chronic heart failure, especially with middle range ejection fraction (HFmrEF). In conditions of HF, the significance of the development of myocardial fibrosis increases many times, leading to irreversible dysfunction, which contributes to the further progression of HF. Atrial fibrillation is an additional factor contributing to systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle.

[Bio-psycho-social model of energizing care of the elderly and senile age at home.].

Due to the introduction of new medical technologies, there is an increase in the number of people, including the elderly and senile age, who have extended their lives, but who need constant care from medical and social services at home. In the study of age differences of biological needs in home care, it was found that for middle-aged people the greatest difficulties and contribution to the reduction of quality of life brought insufficient nutrition, limited independence in the performance of household manipulations due to joint damage, pain and other biological causes, as well as hypothermia syndrome compared with elderly and senile age. For people of older age groups was characterized by the need to bridge the lack of communication; enhancing the role of the family in the implementation of care; increased confidence in caregivers; increased availability of medicines; and increased availability of religious services.

The article presents the data of the study of different models of aerobic and anaerobic exercise in 208 elderly people (89 men and 119 women), which were divided into three groups. The 1st group (control) received standard recommendations of the doctor on the regime of physical activity (daily walks of at least 30 minutes). The 2nd group in addition to the standard recommendations received training in the form of Nordic walking with the regime of classes twice per week for 60 minutes.

[Preventive geriatrics vs anti-aging medicine].

The article presents the main modern ideas of the new interdisciplinary direction at the junction of aesthetic medicine, geriatrics and valeology - preventive geriatrics, or the anti-aging medicine. Describes its purpose, namely effective individual programs of prevention of the development and progression of chronic diseases and age-related conditions; the overview of the diagnostic methods used in preventive geriatrics, individualized prevention programs with proven efficacy is given. Substantiates the importance of preventive geriatrics (anti-aging medicine) as a discipline with its own scientific methodological tools, points of application, and presents prospects of scientific study.
