Problem of age and ageing is considered currently from various positions – biological, physiologic, psychological and social ones. With improvement of conditions of life and further medical progress mankind is confronted by perspective of fruitful and long life. With formation of ageing alterations of special significance is interaction of constitutional (characterological) and environmental (microsocial) factors. Great role is played by relations of ageing person with the nearest: negative influence of environmental impacts generates in them a number of neurotic disturbances. They include states of “social isolation” (during adult children leave the family), “pensionary bankruptcy” or panic fear “not to reach the pension”, “neuroses of resume” caused by subjective assessment of adverse balance of life achievements. There is also another viewpoint based on that with onset of ageing neuro-mental reactivity of the personality is lowering thereby pathogenic action of traumatizing relations looses its significance (results in reduction of neurotic diseases in later life).

The ageing person is confronted by questions: how to behave in new setting, how not to be complicating for the nearest and her/himself? How to avoid decrepit state, prolong her/his productivity, feel till last days of natural end of life being healthy and robust? The decision making in this situation depends on mind and volition of the person, on selected by her/him general strategy of “overcoming” the ageing, conscious strive for productive and full longevity. In this regard we surely may say that prevention of untimely old age fully depends on healthy way of life at young age.
