Promising approaches to the behavior of elderly and elderly patients. Prerehabilitation as a component of preoperative preparation

Increased life expectancy and population aging lead to an increase in the number of elderly and senile patients with oncological diseases. According to WHO, more than 60% of all oncological diseases are diagnosed in people over 65 years of age. In this regard, there is an increasing need to develop approaches that take into account age-related characteristics, including pre-rehabilitation. With age, the human body undergoes many changes that can negatively affect its ability to tolerate operations and recover after them. In this context, pre-rehabilitation becomes an important tool aimed at preparing elderly patients for upcoming surgical interventions. Pre-rehabilitation includes a set of measures aimed at reducing the physical and psychological stress on the body, which, in turn, can significantly improve treatment outcomes and improve the quality of life of patients. The relevance of this work is due to the growing need to develop effective pre-rehabilitation methods for elderly patients who are preparing for oncological operations. Elderly people often face such problems as frailty and sarcopenia, which can significantly worsen their general condition and reduce the chances for successful recovery after surgery. In this regard, the study of pre-rehabilitation methods aimed at preventing these conditions becomes especially relevant.

This article examines the historical development of pre-rehabilitation, in addition, the work will be devoted to the prevention of frailty and diagnostics of sarcopenia, as well as possible interventions aimed at their correction. An important aspect of the study will be the analysis of the results of pre-rehabilitation, which will allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods and their impact on the outcomes of surgical treatment.
