Abstract
The problem of maintaining the health at the proper level in elderly and senile patients is becoming more and more urgent from year to year. This relevance is quite understandable, since a detailed study of this topic will improve the quality of life in a predominantly vulnerable category of citizens. It is well known that aging is a physiological process that affects all organs and systems of the body without exception. However, in our opinion, the most significant problem is age-related changes in the brain, since nothing reduces the quality of life of elderly patients so much as dysfunction of the central nervous system (CNS) structures. The article presents a review of the literature, which highlights modern ideas about the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and its impact on age-associated changes in nervous tissue.
