Abstract
Raising the living standards of elderly citizens and extending their period of active longevity are the priority directions of the Russian state social policy. Targeted programs of governmental support for the elderly in northern regions, developed within the Active Longevity national project, should take into account the results of gerontological research and regional specifics. The authors argue that the Bank of Gerontological Materials and Publications, initiated by the Gerontological Society of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2024, will contribute to the development of research aimed at optimizing the system of comprehensive state support for the elderly in Russia’s Arctic region. The prospects of using the Bank as a nationwide digital platform in the field of Gerontology to consolidate information resources on aging and active longevity are discussed.
