ABSTRACT
The global aging of the population in the modern world leads to an increase in the number of people of older age groups. Polymorbid pathology and geriatric syndromes, which include frailty and sarcopenia, can cause organism instability to various factors of the external and internal environment. The current COVID-19 pandemic, accompanied by a significant increase in mortality among the elderly and senile, makes it necessary to investigate the reasons underlying the increased vulnerability of geriatric patients to this disease. This review of the literature is devoted to this problem.
