The average age of patients among men and women was 67.3 years (men – 66.53 years, women – 68.03 years). The majority of patients are persons of retirement age (302 (79.4%). The priority are diseases of the circulatory system (179 (47.11%) and diseases of the musculoskeletal system (123 (32.37%). The greatest comorbidity is typical for patients of middle, elderly and senile age. Among the concomitant diseases, diseases of the circulatory system, musculoskeletal, respiratory, digestive, endocrine and nervous systems occupy priority positions. Conclusions.
