Socialization of the elderly after retirement by means of a healthy lifestyle in order to improve the quality of life
To date, there has been a tendency to increase the number of elderly people around the world. In our country, this indicator is largely due to the low birth rate and high mortality on the territory of the Russian Federation. Aging is an irreversible and natural process of life, which is accompanied by a change in the physical and psychological qualities of a person. Physical qualities include impaired posture, gait, stability, weight gain, the development of age-related diseases, decreased brain function, etc. And the psychological ones usually include the development of depression, fear, anxiety and stress. Social work with the elderly population requires special attention from social work specialists, since elderly people are a special group of people in need, to whom a certain approach is needed. In the process of conversation and collecting information from the elderly, it is necessary to listen to them, let them talk, understand their degree of need, choose optimal solutions that minimize the risks of their psychological state.
