Abstract
The management of geriatric patients should be based on a comprehensive assessment of their needs realized through a comprehensive geriatric assessment, identification and correction of existing geriatric syndromes. However, the tactics of managing patients of older age groups may vary depending on the age category and the presence of senile asthenia syndrome. In the presented clinical case, the tests, scales and questionnaires that are most often used in conducting a comprehensive geriatric assessment are described, allowing to identify geriatric syndromes and assess their severity.
Key words: older age groups, senile asthenia syndrome, functional status, geriatrics
