master: the rules of a personalized approach to treating a patient with various pathologies, polymorbidity, limited physical abilities and taking into account age, skills of interaction with medical specialists, other medical workers and family members of a sick person when providing palliative care to a sick person.
The increase in the average duration of human life is the most remarkable result of scientific, technological and social progress. The most important demographic phenomenon at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries. was a global increase in life expectancy and, as a result, an adequate increase in the proportion of older people in the total population of the population of countries around the world. So, in 1950, people aged 60 years and over accounted for 8 % of the world population, in 2000 already 10 %, and in 2050, according to UN forecasts, their share will reach 21 %. By 2020, for the first time in history, the number of people aged 60 and over will outnumber children under 5 (WHO Report, 2015). In Russia, the share of people over 60 years of age as of January 1, 2016 was 20.3 %, by 2025 it is expected to increase to 23.9 %, by 2050 to 28.8 %. The Samara region repeats the all-Russian tendencies. Along with the increase in the number of people over 60, the number of age-associated diseases is also growing. Among them is also the syndrome of senile asthenia (frailty).
According to foreign studies, the prevalence of frailty among people living at home aged 65 and older averages about 10.7 %, pre-frail older adults 41.6 %. The prevalence of frailty increases with age, reaching
26.1 % among people aged 85 and over. Frailty syndrome is significantly more frequently diagnosed in women than in men. In nursing homes, the prevalence of frailty reaches 52.3 %.
According to Russian studies, among the population of St. Petersburg (Kolpino) 65 years and older, the prevalence of frailty, depending on the approach to its diagnosis, ranges from 21.1 to 43.9 %, pre-frail older adults from 24.7 to 65.5 %. Among patients of polyclinics in Moscow of
8
the same age group, the prevalence of frailty ranges from 4.2 to 8.9 %, pre­frail older adults from 45.8 to 61.3 %.
At present, a regulatory and legal framework for the development of the geriatric service has been developed: Decree of the Government of the
Russian Federation of February 5, 2016 No. 164r “Approve the attached
Action Strategy in the interests of older citizens in the Russian Federation
until 2025”, Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of July 28, 1999 No. 297 “On improving the organization of medical care for elderly and senile citizens in the Russian Federation”, Order of the Ministry
of Health of the Russian Federation dated January 29, 2016 No. 38n “On approval of the Procedure for the provision of medical care in the field of “geriatrics”, Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated
20.12.2019 No. 1067n On amendments to the procedure for providing medical care in the geriatrics profile, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated January 29, 2016 No. 38n.
These documents played a positive role in the creation of a geriatric system in the country, the main principle of which is the creation of a unified system of long-term care for geriatric patients through the continuity of management between healthcare and social service institutions.
One of the priorities of the action strategy in the interests of older citizens in the Russian Federation until 2025 is the improvement of the social service system, its innovative development. Improving the quality of life of senior citizens is one of the priorities. The most demanded form is the provision of social services at home. This is especially true for patients suffering from movement disorders and senile dementia. This form 4 of social service allows them to keep living in their usual environment, without being placed in social service hospitals.
Further tasks in the implementation of the Strategy of Actions in the Interests of Senior Citizens in the Russian Federation until 2025 are defined as follows:
- development of strategies for the prevention of chronic non­communicable diseases in older people, including the formation of a healthy lifestyle and early diagnosis of chronic age-associated non-communicable
9
diseases and risk factors for their development, followed by timely correction in order to reduce morbidity, disability and mortality; organization of geriatric service as a unified system of long-term medical care, continuity of patient management by various levels of the health system, as well as health and social protection services; improving the provision of medical care at the territorial medical sites to citizens of the older generation with senile asthenia;
- development of palliative care in the interests of older citizens;
- improvement of a unified system of professional training and additional professional education of specialists in providing medical, including geriatric, and social assistance to citizens of the older generation;
-increasing the awareness of medical workers on the issues of protecting the health of citizens of the older generation;
- carrying out activities aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle, creating conditions for physical education for older citizens, taking into account their age and state of health;
- formation of a respectful attitude towards citizens of the older generation, regardless of their physical condition and other aspects of their life as members of society.
Given that in the system of providing medical care to the older population, the main burden falls on outpatient clinics, the most important role in the tactics of managing geriatric patients belongs to primary care specialists. Not every elderly or senile patient needs to be seen by a geriatrician. The selection of patients for the provision of specialized geriatric care is based on the identification of the main geriatric syndromes and the syndrome of senile asthenia, which limit the functionality and life of an elderly person. With the already developed syndrome of senile asthenia, it is necessary to connect all possible measures for the provision of socio-medical assistance and support, carrying out close interaction with social services.
To understand the peculiarities of working with patients of older age groups, first of all, it is necessary to give the basic concepts and definitions in this area of medical knowledge.

1. BRIEF INFORMATION ON THE FRAILTY SYNDROME
Definition of the disease, ICD-10 code, formulation of the diagnosis.
Frailty syndrome (frailty) is a key geriatric syndrome characterized by an age-associated decrease in the physiological reserve and functions of many body systems, leading to an increased vulnerability of the body of an elderly person to the effects of endo- and exogenous factors, with a high risk of developing adverse health outcomes, loss of autonomy and death. Frailty syndrome is closely associated with other geriatric syndromes and with polymorbidity, may be potentially reversible and affects patient management.
R54 Old age without mention of psychosis, old age without mention of psychosis, senile: asthenia, weakness.
Frailty is listed as the first comorbid condition, and all identified geriatric syndromes must be included in the diagnosis. Frailty may not be the only geriatric syndrome identified
