Achieving life satisfaction in a complex epidemiological situation that determines chronic stress, a prolonged regime of socio-economic restrictions and self-isolation, increased mortality, seems to be an urgent and at the same time difficult to solve task. Therefore, understanding the socio-cognitive correlates of life satisfaction after 55 years allows us to model its mental constructions that have a stress-protective property, with the subsequent possibility of their psychological correction. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate, identify and discuss the results of the correlation analysis of the relationship between socio-cognitive characteristics and life satisfaction after 55 years.

The purpose of the study was to study the role of vitamin D in the formation of immunopathogenetic changes from cellular and humoral immune factors, free radical oxidation processes in working teachers and unemployed elderly women and the possibility of correcting the revealed violations with vitamin D subsidy. Before the start of the study, a decrease in the total content of vitamin D was revealed, violation of the functional and metabolic status of immunocytes, an imbalance in the production of Th1/Th2 cytokines, an increase in primary and secondary products peroxidation of the lipid extract of blood plasma, a decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase to the main and control groups.

The relevance of the study is due to the contradiction between the theoretical and practical significance of the problem of coping behavior of older people and its insufficient development in gerontopsychology. The purpose of the study was to establish the theoretical basis for conducting the factor analysis of coping behaviour in the elderly studying at the University and to analyse the findings.

In 50 women at the age of 63,5±1,5 years, the indicators of the spectral analysis of the heart rhythm were studied on the 3, 7, 14 days of rehabilitation procedures. The state of the cellular factors of innate immunity was assessed by the phagocytic activity and oxygen-dependent metabolism of neutrophilic granulocytes in the nitric blue tetrazolium reduction test.

The aim of the present study was to study the state of cellular factors of innate and adaptive immunity, IL-1β, 1α, IFN-γ cytokines, hormones, vegetative regulation of heart rhythm in older teachers in the dynamics of the school year. The indices of the spectral analysis of the heart rhythm (n=50) at the beginning of the school year (background level), after 5 and 9 months, were studied.
