The dynamics of health and the rate of aging in patients of different age and sex in the treatment of moderate multiple pathologies

This article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of the health state of patients of different age and sex, suffering simultaneously from several non-serious diseases, in the process of their treatment under stationary hospital conditions and the results of the determination of their biological age before and after the course of treatment. The study has revealed distinct differences in the number of diseases, their character, the length of treatment and its success, depending on age and sex. However, in those over 60, these differences gradually disappear. A multiple, though non-serious, pathology negatively influences the indicators of biological age for men of a calendar age of 20–39 years and women of a calendar age of 20–39 and over 60, but the gero-protective effect of treatment is very low. In a number of cases in the treatment process for multiple pathology, it is found even to increase in indicators of originally lower biological age and their approximation to indicators of the calendar age. We explain this result both as disturbances of adaptation of the organism to the non-serious disease in the process of the given treatment and as a pathological phenomenon similar to the considerably higher biological age.
