In the elderly and senile age, the quality of life has its own characteristics, depending primarily on the state of health, assessment of the life lived, internal standards, beliefs, as well as on social support and the ability to function effectively in changed social conditions. In later ages, a subjective assessment of the quality of life has an impact on the course of somatic and mental disorders. To date, there is no agreement between researchers on the definition and assessment of the quality of life in later ages. The article describes the current understanding of the quality of life and its components. The problems hindering the improvement of the quality of life are highlighted. The list of methods for assessing the quality of life in later ages is given. The main factors affecting the quality of life in the elderly and senile age are analyzed.
