We studied the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (CND) in elderly and senile patients in conjunction with the syndrome of senile asthenia, the prevalence of sarcopenia depending on gender characteristics and the frequency of occurrence of the falls syndrome in patients with sarcopenia of older age groups. The features of drug therapy in outpatient practice were analyzed. The method of complex geriatric assessment was used in 528 patients divided into 3 age groups (65-74 years, 75-84 years, 85 years or more).

The use of artrofoon in the treatment of ankylosing spondyloarthritis.

In patients with ankylosing spondyloarthritis, artrofoon produced a more potent antiinflammatory effect than nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. The study demonstrated a positive effect of artrofoon on clinical and laboratory parameters, good tolerability of the preparation, and the absence of negative effects on the hepatic and renal functions. Being added to complex therapy, artrofoon led to a decrease in the dose of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
