Assessment of aging processes in individual dynamics of health and work capacity indicators

Abstract

The purpose of the review is to identify the effects of natural aging processes and accompanying age-related diseases on the personal labor potential of a person in modern conditions of socio-economic development. Personal labor potential is subject to the processes of natural biological aging. Improvements in living conditions and advances in health care lead to an increase in the proportion of the elderly in the population structure, but these same processes can reduce the rate of individual aging, the risks of age-related diseases and death. The aging process reduces overall viability, which is accompanied by an increased risk of age-related chronic diseases. For these diseases, personal risk levels should be assessed, and preventive measures should be taken in a timely manner. There are risk markers for various diseases that increase in frequency with age, as well as markers of increased overall mortality. The assessment of individual aging is based on indicators of biological age, which should be considered to assess personal labor potential.
