FEATURES OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE FOR WOMEN OF OLDER AGE GROUPS. LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction. Menopause is one of the most important events in a woman's life cycle, representing the transition from the reproductive to the non-productive stage with the subsequent onset of the aging phase. During this period, physiological changes occur that have a negative impact on the female body, causing a decrease in the quality of life and the likelihood of healthy aging. The protection of the health of the elderly population occupies a priority place in the activities of health and social protection systems in many countries.
The purpose of this review article is to summarize the literature on the peculiarities of the health status of menopausal women and the measures taken to protect their health.
Search strategy. We conducted an analytical review of open access sources from the scientific databases Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, e-library over the past 10 years (2013-2023). Keywords were used for the search: "women's health", "menopause", "screening", "prevention", "medical care". The publications included in the literature review were full-text articles in Russian and English. A total of 312 were analyzed, of which 82 met the objectives of the study and the inclusion criteria.
Results. The review material presents the features of the health status of older women and discusses the issues of prevention, early diagnosis of conditions and diseases that occur in the perimenopausal period. Special attention is paid to the screening of malignant neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, as well as the diagnosis of disorders associated with menopausal transition. It has been established that various programs and strategies are being developed in many countries to maintain the health and improve the quality of life of older women. However, despite this, there are a number of problems in providing them with medical care, low awareness of the population about preventive screenings, lack of understanding of the psychological status of women during menopause.
Conclusion. Based on the conducted literature review, it was found that the main task for carrying out measures to improve the quality of life of the elderly population and reduce the risk of aging diseases is a combination of educational, preventive, screening and therapeutic work aimed at solving medical, social and psychological problems.
