Assessment of the physical aspect of vitality in elderly patients using the indicators of exercise tolerance

The physical aspect of agerelated viability was studied using various clinical data, one of which Is the Indicators of exercise tolerance (ET). However, there is no common understanding of the physical aspect of agerelated viability, as well as there are no methods for Its assessment In different age periods. Objective. To Improve the assessment of the physical aspect of agerelated viability using the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) In different periods of the moderate ET test In pulmonology patients of different age groups. Subjects and methods. The Invesbgatlon enrolled patients undergoing respiratory rehabllltabon, Including 20 middleaged (45-59-year-old) and 13 elderly (60-74-year-old) patients according to the WHO classification. All the patients underwent a physical examination according to the traditional routine procedure using spiroarteriocardlorhythmography at rest and during functional tests. Results. The Investigation describes a methodology for assessing the regulatory circulatory systems by HRV In different periods of the ET test In middleaged and elderly patients with pulmonary diseases. Conclusion. For a quantitative assessment of the physical aspect of agerelated viability, the authors recommend an estimate of HRV in the recovery period of the moderate ET test.
