National Elderly Health Propaganda Week ｜ Do a good job of preventing and health care, the elderly should take the initiative to "attack"

The most beautiful but the sunset red

Health is calm

If you are old, you want to "catch" health

Prevention of the disease must take the initiative

1 Healthy "bottoming" Fang Xian is calm // If you are over sixty years old, then you are one of the 264 million elderly "army" in my country. At present, the number of silver -haired people in my country is growing rapidly. During the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period, the population of 60 and above the country is expected to exceed 300 million, accounting for more than 20%of the total population. There are one elderly person. The most beautiful is the sunset, and the healthy "bottoming" is calm. The per capita life expectations of Chinese residents have been raised from 77.93 in 2020 to 78.2 years in 2021, but there is still room for improvement. Longevity should not be just the growth of natural age, but also to ensure the quality of life. All the elderly are looking forward to dignified health and longevity. 2 After the "wind blowing and grass movement", the ranks of the silver -haired family are infinitely increasing, and the demand for medical care will increase. About 190 million elderly people have chronic diseases in my country, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, etc. To make matters worse, these diseases often exist at the same time. About 75%of my country ’s 60 -year -old and above elderly people suffer from at least one chronic disease, and 43%of the disease coexist (at the same time suffering from two or more diseases). Chronic diseases are irresistible. For chronic diseases they suffer, the elderly should learn to "coexist" with the disease, and maintaining stability of the disease is the first priority. Any "wind blowing and grass movement" may lead to acute increase in the condition, and the elderly should avoid all the causes that may increase the condition. Inception 1: malnutrition. The risk of malnutrition in the elderly increases. Nutrition and chronic diseases are closely related. Elderly people who coexist with diseases take multiple drugs daily, and many drugs can affect appetite and then induce malnutrition. Some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, can cause metabolic abnormalities, malignant tumors can increase body nutrient consumption, depression is often accompanied by decreased appetite and abdominal discomfort, which will lead to malnutrition. The decreased resistance of malnutrition elderly people is very unfavorable to the control of chronic diseases. From July 25th to July 31st is the National Health Publicity Week. This year's theme is "Improving the nutrition of the elderly and promoting the health of the elderly." For the elderly, a balanced nutrition and scientific diet can help maintain a healthy state and delay the progress of the disease. Incentive 2: Diseases of infectious diseases. With the increase of age, human immunity has gradually decreased, the ability to fight against infection decreases, and the risk of infectious diseases increases, such as influenza, pneumonia, shingles, meningitis, etc. At the same time, the immunity of the elderly with chronic diseases and malnutrition has decreased, the defense ability is not enough to fight against the disease, and the chance of suffering from infection increases. This will bring acute worsening chronic diseases and bad endings that affect the quality of life. Therefore, the elderly should be alert to the risk of overlapping risks of various diseases and prevent it first. 3 Actively "attack" is more favorable to prevent disease // guarding their own health. The elderly should take the initiative to "attack" and actively prevent themselves as the first responsible person of their own health. Infectious diseases such as influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia, and shingles are common among the elderly, and they are acute infectious diseases that bring bad endings. The elderly should actively prevent. Patients with influenza mild symptoms are similar to ordinary colds, but their systemic symptoms such as fever and muscle pain are more obvious. Some elderly people, infants, and chronic diseases are very susceptible to pneumonia after influenza, which requires emergency rescue or hospitalization. The community's acquisition of pneumonia is mostly caused by pneumonia, which occurs mostly in the elderly and infants, as well as patients with chronic diseases. Most communities have acute onset of sex pneumonia, but the specific circumstances can be different due to the pathogen, the patient's immune status, complications, and age. Zospellings, commonly known as the waist dragon, are infectious skin diseases caused by chickenpox-shingles virus. Typical manifestations are rashes that are distributed along the nerves in the body, often accompanied by neuralgia. Nearly 1/3 of the patients have postpartum gods. Zospellings can occur at any age. After the age of 50, the incidence has increased significantly. As the age increases, the immune function gradually decreases, which is more likely to get sick and the disease is more serious. Fortunately, these three infectious diseases can be prevented by vaccination. Some patients with chronic diseases dare not take vaccines because they are worried about their immunity. In fact, vaccination is an effective prevention measure. It can help the elderly to relieve the advancement of chronic diseases by infection, while reducing the risk of hospitalization or death -related hospitalization and hospitalization costs related to various chronic diseases, improve the quality of life of patients, and extend their life. As one of the important means of improving specific immunity, vaccine is the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases. While managing chronic diseases, the elderly should actively vaccinate influenza vaccines, pneumococcal vaccines, and shingles vaccines to prevent these common infectious diseases. The elderly should establish the concept of "they are the first responsible person of their own health", comprehensively manage and actively prevent, and pave the way for silver -haired life.
