[Some determinants of modern gerontology.]

This paper aims to update, systematize, and describe data on the most important gerontological determinants - social status, health status, physical functioning, and mental state - as they significantly influence the well-being and duration of active life in older adults. Based on a review of available english-language literature from international and Russian scientific databases, the authors elucidate the meaning of each determinant in its traditional conception and from the perspectives of various disciplines and approaches. They examine the specifics of its gerontological context and highlight the latest methodologies aimed at maintaining these components. The research proposes a framework for a four-component model of gerontological determinants, which presents these factors as elements of a single, interdependent system. The work is structured as an analytical narrative review and is intended to form a holistic view of the current state of gerontological theory and practice. It emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive approach that integrates the development of the healthcare system, the adaptation of digital technologies, and the formation of a supportive environment to ensure active longevity in the context of global trend to aging of the population.
