The process of aging is constantly accelerating.

The process of aging in China is constantly accelerating and has entered an aging society. At the same time, the ages of the elderly population are becoming increasingly obvious: 80 years old and above elderly people are increasing at a rate of 5%per year, and will increase to more than 74 million by 2040. In Jiangsu, the proportion of population at the age of 65 and above is 16.20%, which has entered a stage of deep aging.

Aging is a life subject that everyone must face. But aging means no quality of life? How can we define aging? How can I grow old elegantly?

"Internationally, we only have a simple definition of aging, that is, the age is greater than 60 or 65 years old. But the aging currently has no clear indication in medicine." Huang Jingjing, deputy chief physician, told reporters that the aging could not have an obvious limit, but some medical examinations could find that some patients' organs could show signs of aging. If early intervention is passed at this time, it can play a role in delaying aging.

Many women have "anti -aging" when they are very young. Everyone will pay attention to white hair and relax their skin, but this is not the same as the real aging in Huang Jingjing. "Because the aging process of human beings is a stepped, not a mountain climbing one after another." In her opinion, every individual should pay attention to his health from birth. Physical examination is a good way. This can help everyone pay attention to the development of healthy development, discover the induction of chronic diseases, and help us maintain a healthy state for a long period of time. Similar to cars, if you are maintained in a timely manner every year, there are small problems and intervention in time, and the service life and performance of the car will be maintained well.

In Huang Jingjing's daily work, she discovered that many chronic diseases are no longer the "patent" of the elderly, and they have already aging. There was a male patient in her 50s impressed her. The male family member had family esophageal cancer. He was very exclusive to checked as a high -risk group. Finally Early mucous membrane tumors and endoscopy were removed. Patients did not need to be chemotherapy in the future. They are now living healthily. However, the male sister did not do any examination. Recently, because of the discomfort, she found that it was already advanced in esophageal cancer. From this small example, you can see that the necessity of early intervention. "Incorporating the premature failure of the organs into the health management of the whole process, it can be discovered in time before the early cancer of the tumor, which may largely reduce the heavy burden of the later medical care to the family."

"As an elderly doctor, the goal we want to pursue throughout our lives is to allow more people to retire high -quality and grow older." Huang Jingjing suggested that everyone should understand their physical condition and know how to find how to find out Appropriate medical resources to solve problems. It is meaningless to fight against aging without understanding your health and possible genetic risk factors. "On this basis, we choose the right anti -aging, such as skin management, organ management, vascular management, chronic disease management, etc. This is still not a simple control. Complete health planning. "(Jiang Mingrui)
