According to statistics, in the structure of requests for primary care, patients of the older age group make up about 80%, while in hospitalization more than 50% are needed. First of all, this is due to the increase in life expectancy, the increase in the number of elderly and old people, the development of new medicines and methods of treatment. This poses new challenges, both for health care and for social services. This article discusses the problematic issues of servicing elderly people mainly from the medical side. In conclusion of the work, the main medical problems are identified for people, the older age group living in the Voronezh region, who were obtained during the analysis of statistical data.</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>elderly people</kwd><kwd>polymorbidity</kwd><kwd>polypharmacy</kwd><kwd>morbidity</kwd><kwd>chronic diseases</kwd><kwd>demographic aging of the Voronezh region</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пожилые люди</kwd><kwd>полиморбидность</kwd><kwd>полипрагмазия</kwd><kwd>заболеваемость</kwd><kwd>хронические заболевания</kwd><kwd>демографическое старение Воронежской области</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Некоторые аспекты изучения взаимосвязей болезни и старения / Скребнева А.В., Попов В.И., Силютина М.В. // «Научные ведомости Белгородского государственного университета Медицина Фармация», НИУ «БелГУ» Издательский дом «Белгород», № 12 (233), вып. 34, июнь 2016 г., С. 95-99</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="B2"><label>2.</label><mixed-citation>Анализ демографического старения населения в Воронежской области / Скребнева А.В., Губина О.И. // Прикладные информационные аспекты медицины. 2016.
