Age is high but not high
The decline in functions, which made the elderly body, became complicated and very fragile.
1. What is the elderly?
First of all, in this article, we want to unify a few terms, before discussing many issues, revolving around the people who have gone through the top of their lives.
Some countries call the elderly, in the terms of the elderly, others call the driver, some are called the elderly.
But in this article, we have no intention, to divide too clearly such objects,
In short, a term is the elderly, which includes the elderly, the elderly and the elderly.
How are so-called elderly? Currently, the majority of the world, accepting the age of 60 is the landmark, to classify the elderly.
Thus, they are called elderly, when their age is greater than or equal to 60 years.
And, all people aged 60 and over, are included in this age group.
Elderly people need to exercise, to improve their health.
2. And the implications.
In the elderly, to use this phrase, to fully describe the characteristics of the elderly class:"degraded all physiological components."
That is, how many organs in the body, so many organs are degraded.
Mobility:This is the first system affected.
Perhaps, because the motor system often suffers from body weight, the motor system is most affected.
All the joints in the body become "green".
Thin, brittle, brittle bones.
The bone marrow becomes dilated, calcium deficiency.
The number of bone marrow cells, (reduced cellular mass), decreased, and decreased ability to build new bone.
The number of cells that destroy bone, bone, and cellulite (cell destruction) increases.
Thus, the bones of the elderly are surprisingly fragile.
Along with the bone is the joint.
Aging of the elderly becomes dry, less sedentary, limited mobility, less flexibility, limited mobility, and reduced movement speed.
On the body side, we can recognize this, because the gait is slow, unable to run fast,
Durable, no longer able to participate in speed sports, height decline, back turned cuffs, hips, and tend to be sluggish.
Skin:The skin is the system, often subjected to the direct impact of the environment.
How many harmful effects, then how much damage the skin system suffered.
As a result, the skin system is deteriorating quite rapidly.
The fat under the skin is thin, no longer thick and fat as before.
The elastic fibers and elastic collagen fibers are also thin, making the skin less plump.
The dermis of the skin becomes too large, causing them to sag, sag, and sag.
Many wrinkles form, and the skin becomes noticeably aging.
The skin's immunity also decreases.
Just a slight skin injury, also become difficult, and the time to skin is prolonged.
Performance, of the skin-dependent components is also poor.
The nails become less glossy, or brittle, or broken.
The synthetic pigment cells for hair, hair, also less active, so the hair becomes silver and white.
The hair is not as thick as it used to be, or it has fallen, or it has broken.
Sparse and fragile hair.
Nervous System:The next system is age-responsive.
But the development of the nervous system is not uniform.
It is seen that not all parts of the nervous system are degraded in mass and the same.
In general, the nerve function is not fast, and the information processing ability is not as fast as before.
However, the ability to inhibit differentiation, of the nervous system to mature to the maximum.
The nervous system of people outside the age of 60, only the central excitement should be excited, not excitement in excess.
Which center should be inhibited, will be inhibited.
Thus, in the elderly brain system, there is incredible calm, as if the years of youth,
Give them experience, so that they mature and mature, but gradually the centers of the brain become poorer.
Visual centers, hearing centers, and memory centers are also shrinking, as the number of neurons is reduced.
They become poor in sight, hearing and memory.
Because of the decline in the number of neurons in the centers, psychological issues have changed quite erratically,
Because they no longer maintain harmony, balance between them.
Expressing that it is remembering, forgetting, remembering things that are not accurate, changing, or sad, or depressed, or thinking, and especially as sulky as children.
Digestive system:The next system is functional decline.
The contraction of the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract is impaired, so the elderly tend to eat less slowly.
The contraction force, the digestive system is reduced peristalsis, and the elderly or constipated.
The coordination of the muscles, throat area becomes less, so when eating, it is difficult to swallow.
The activity of gland secretion is reduced relatively clearly, their ability is only about 40% compared to youth.
Therefore, many places are "fissure", the mouth is less saliva, so eat feel dry and difficult to chew, gastric deficiency,
Should eat belly full stomach, intestines are lacking intestinal fluid, so feel poor absorption, liver lack of bile fluid, so only slightly out is out.
The cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the secretion system, is not out of the target of age attack.
Heart becomes inoperable.
The contraction effect of the heart is not as strong as it used to be.
Therefore, they are no longer capable of endurance activities as young.
The arteries become brittle, hard, less elastic, should or be fibrotic plaque.
Increased pulmonary edema, decreased volume of air in the lungs, increased volume of sediment, number of useful alveoli, involvement in blood gas metabolism decreased.
Occasionally, the elderly experience shortness of breath, shortness of breath, and obstructive breathing, which is not difficult to understand.
Family members should visit often, chat with the elderly.
3. Disease problem.
It is difficult to say who is not sick.
Everyone has his own problems, only one thing, that is in this or that place, and the extent to which it shows up.
In the problem of illness of the elderly, the following issues need attention:
First, they are multi-organisms.
Maybe because of the deterioration of many organs, so when they are sick, they will have many things at the same time.
People have high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridaemia.
People with sleep disorders, more piggybacked more osteoarthritis.
People with gout, including diabetes mellitus.
People with degenerative bone in the spine, re-atherosclerosis.
People with cerebral palsy, with arrhythmias, and so on.
Therefore, the examination of the disease for the elderly, insisted on not be examined through the speaker, and can not be examined in an organ.
Because they can forget, not talk to the doctor but real, need to treat and care.
Second, the symptoms of aging in the elderly are unclear, possibly due to their higher threshold of sensation, nervousness, lack of symptoms, or a lack of clarity.
They often go to the doctor in the early stages, due to the level of the body's reaction is not clear.
But when they went to see the doctor, the disease officially came into full play.
On the other hand, due to the unclear response to the disease, many of the symptoms are altered, depending on other symptoms.
These characteristics, which make the medical team, working with the elderly, should be careful:thorough examination, detailed inquiries, note the secondary symptoms, to avoid the wrong diagnosis.
Third, resistance to disease in the elderly becomes poor.
Reason,
Because the cardiovascular system does not provide the blood supply to the affected organ, so that they have a strong rebound, due to reduced immunity, restoration is reduced, and so on.
Therefore, in the treatment strategy, need to change, instead of using strong drugs, and attack to extinguish the disease,
It should be treated both at the same lift, while taking medication, while supporting the body, supportive treatment to support the body is the main body to recover.
