The publication continues to consider the cause-subsequent relationships of low efficiency of the state policy in the field of prolonging the period of active longevity altogether with unsystematic approaches to the formation and implementation of state programs. In the context of the analysis of the reasons for the insufficient effectiveness of existing state programs in the field of improving social support for senior citizens, geriatrics is positioned as an integral part of gerontology - an area of applied research that provides solutions to medical, social, psychological and other problems that arise among citizens of elderly. In particular, these problems are associated with the psychophysiological, socio-economic, educational, cultural and legal status of this category of citizens. Geriatric care and its status as a basic component of comprehensive medical and social assistance to senior citizens are formalized. The influence of gerontology and geriatrics in the process of providing systemic support for improving the quality of life of senior citizens, which is one of the priorities of Russian state policy, is substantiated. The motivation is the need to amend existing laws and regulations governing the provision of state support to senior citizens, systematic processing of existing government programs in this area, based on the use of a scientific approach to solving the problem of adapting the state to the aging processes of society.
