Summary
This study introduces a new aging prevention strategy for seniors using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. It proposes integrated healthcare and social support improvements for better elder adaptation and well-being.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Public Health
- Social Policy
Background:
- Aging population presents complex health and social adaptation challenges.
- Existing healthcare and social protection systems in Russia face integration issues for elder care.
- The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) offers a comprehensive framework for assessing aging impacts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an innovative aging prevention concept for older citizens.
- To analyze systemic barriers in Russian healthcare and social protection for integrated elder care.
- To advocate for the biopsychosocial model in aging prevention and social adaptation strategies.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing elements of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
- Analyzing functional features and integration challenges of departmental health and social protection systems in Russia.
- Applying the biopsychosocial model for a systematic approach to aging prevention.
Main Results:
- Identified functional limitations in current departmental systems hindering integrated elder care.
- Demonstrated the advantages of the biopsychosocial model for social adaptation and aging prevention.
- Proposed a set of measures to enhance efficiency, quality, and accessibility of elder healthcare services.
Conclusions:
- An integrated, biopsychosocial approach is crucial for effective aging prevention.
- Restructuring inter-departmental collaboration and engaging non-governmental resources can improve elder care.
- The ICF framework provides a valuable tool for developing comprehensive strategies for the aging population.

Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
2.3K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

01:30Preventive Healthcare Services
1.1K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
2.2K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
