В современных исследованиях всё большее внимание уделяется поиску понимания особенностей старения и аспектов, влияющих на восприятие этого процесса. Однако в социальных науках до сих пор отсутствует методологическое единство в описании старения и его особенностей.Целью настоящего исследования является анализ восприятия возраста пожилыми людьми через изучение важного аспекта, характерного для российского общества, ‒ понимание пожилого возраста как времени проблем со здоровьем и различных сложностей.Задачи исследования заключаются в изучении описания своего возраста и старения пожилыми людьми через медикализацию и присутствующий в обществе медицинский дискурс относительно пожилого возраста.Методология. Эмпирическую базу исследования составили 60 интервью с пожилыми жителями Санкт-Петербурга различных поколений 65+ и 75+ (по 30 интервью с представителями каждого поколения). Основной метод анализа ‒ тематический.Результаты. Дискриминация пожилых людей на основании их здоровья проявляется как в приватном общении с родственниками, так и в различных дискурсах СМИ. Она активно поддерживается врачами и медицинским персоналом. Нарративы интервью обозначили важную проблему: пожилые люди часто определяют свой возраст как период проблем со здоровьем.Выводы. На основании данных исследования мы сделали вывод о значимости индивидуальных аспектов восприятия возраста и старения, а также о влиянии медикализации на понимание своего возраста пожилыми людьми. Анализ этих аспектов позволяет лучше понять, как пожилые люди отождествляют себя со старшим поколением.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Relevance. In modern research, more and more attention is being paid to finding an understanding of the features of aging and the aspects that affect the perception of this process. However, there is still no methodological unity in the social sciences in describing aging and its specific purpose.The purpose of this study is to analyze the perception of age by older people through the study of an important aspect characteristic of Russian society ‒ the understanding of old age as a time of health problems and various difficulties.The objectives of the study are to study the description of their age and aging by older people through medicalization and the medical discourse present in society regarding the older.Methodology. The empirical basis of the study consisted of 60 interviews with older residents of St. Petersburg of various generations 65+ and 75+ — 30 interviews with representatives of each generation. The main method of analysis is thematic.Results. Discrimination against older people based on their health is manifested both in private communication with relatives and in various media discourses. She is actively supported by doctors and medical staff. The interview narratives identified an important problem: older people often define their age as a period of health problems.Conclusions. Based on the research data, we concluded that the importance of individual aspects of the perception of age and aging, as well as the impact of medication on the understanding of their age by the older. Analyzing these aspects allows for a better understanding of how older people identify with the older generation.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пожилые люди Санкт-Петербурга</kwd><kwd>медикализация пожилых людей</kwd><kwd>проблемы со здоровьем пожилых людей</kwd><kwd>старение в России</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>older people of St. Petersburg</kwd><kwd>medicalization of the older</kwd><kwd>health problems of the older</kwd><kwd>aging in Russia</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Григорьева И.
