Material and methods: We studied the possibilities of aesthetic medicine clinics in implementing gerontological prevention programs by interviewing the heads of clinics (n=228) for the types of medical activities that their organizations have, and the presence of which is appropriate for the implementation of gerontological prevention programs. Also, an expert assessment of the activities of medical organizations in relation to management tasks was carried out according to the methodology of N. M. Kunitsyna (2013) in relation to 106 clinics of aesthetic medicine. In addition, the opinion of patients (n=648) on the most preferred options of the first-contact doctor for providing information on gerontological prevention was studied.
Results: In the rating of tasks of municipal polyclinics, the first five places are occupied by the following: treatment of diseases, conducting medical examinations, implementing General population prevention programs, reducing mortality rates, optimizing the load on medical personnel. In the rating of tasks of aesthetic medicine clinics, the first five places are occupied by the following: providing services in the field of aesthetic medicine, implementing age-oriented prevention programs, providing services in related areas, increasing patient satisfaction, and increasing the level of knowledge of doctors in the field of gerontology. Modern aesthetic medicine clinics have the human and material resources to implement gerontological prevention programs.
