Quality of Life in The Elderly: Opportunities for Management, Based on the Principles of Adaptive Medicine
O. S. Glazachev
Abstract
The unprecedented demographic changes in the 21st century, in particular, the increase in life expectancy and the aging of the population, actualize new challenges to the social services and public health of all countries. One of the most important problems is the preservation and maintenance of elderly\'s quality of life. Taking into account the complexity and multicomponent nature of the concept of \"quality of life\", different approaches are considered in the work to maintain the quality of life of elderly and senile people. The benefits of multimodal rehabilitation programs, including physical training, psychological support, emotional training, measures of social adaptation are postulated in the paper. The possibilities of maintaining the quality of life of the elderly are shown on the basis of techniques that implement the principles of adaptive medicine - training for repetitive individually dosed environmental factors that are temporal stressors, leading to an increase in resistance to both a specific factor and an increase in overall resistance, as a result - the quality of life of the elderly as a whole. As physical stressors, exercise training, interval hypoxic training, as well as hyperthermic effects are considered and discussed in the paper.
