Аннотация

In many countries around the world, there is a growing scientific interest in studying the problems of older people. Elderly and senile age is one of the most important periods of a person's life, during which morphological and functional changes occur in the body, leading to a gradual cessation of life. According to UN forecasts, by 2025 the total number of people aged 60 and over will exceed 1.1 billion. The fastest growing number of people are aged 80 and over, from 13 million in 1950 to 137 million by 2025. In this regard, the European region ranks high on the planet, with 18 of the 20 countries with the largest proportion of elderly people in the world.
