title: Vitality diagnostics and preventive medicine for the well-being of people at advanced age.
abstract: This paper emphasises the importance of vitality diagnostics in relation to healthy ageing and prevention of age-associated diseases. Ageing, reducing the reserve capacity, decreases the adaptability of various systems and increases the risk of functional disorders. The early recognition and treatment of functional disorders in vitality diagnostics laboratories provides an opportunity to prevent or delay the onset of degenerative diseases related to advanced age.
