Abstract

Background: Ageing is a natural biological process, manifested in a gradual decrease in the adaptive capacity of the organism. The causes of social alienation among elderly people have a multifactorial nature. Stroke is a very dangerous disease since it disrupts the work of the most important organ - the brain. The problem of stroke prevention has been particularly relevant in the past decade.

Aims and Objectives: The research was conducted to study the state of medical and social risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease among elderly and old individuals.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted among 2481 individuals over employable age. Of this number, in 84 patients with ischemic stroke individual risk factors were studied. Their health was characterized by a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and severe disability. The main types of pathology among elderly and old people are CVD.

Results: The main factor leading to the development of stroke, especially recurrent, is arterial hypertension in combination with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiosclerosis, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Conclusions: Recurrent stroke is characterized by increasing cognitive dysfunction against the background of worsening mental and motor disorders of the heterogeneous nature, which defines a high degree of disability due to stroke.

Key words: Risk Factors; Cardiovascular Disease; Elderly and Old People; Medical and Social Indicators; Ischemic Stroke
