title: [Work capacity of workers of older age groups].
abstract: The article deals with current approaches towards the assessment of working capacity in older age groups, describes principal age-related regularities in psychomotor, physical and mental working capacity changes. Novel, highly informative techniques for working capacity evaluation are proposed, along with a ten-grade assessment technique intended for wide use in general practice. It is shown that the bulk of industrial workers' working capacity can be related to grades 5-8, which is demonstrative of decreased working capacity, both physical and mental, in workers in general.
