Abstract:
Neurocognitive disorders, a common criterion of frailty in elderly individuals, particularly those over the age of 70, impair independence, quality of life, and tolerance to treatment, and increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Malignant blood disorders are common in older people, with a often less favorable prognosis, particularly in the presence of frailty factors. Screening and prevention of cognitive disorders and confusion are essential at every stage of personalized care. The goal is to maintain the best possible quality of life for older patients with cognitive disorders.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
