Recently, Professor Rui Yunfeng, deputy director of the Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated to Southeast University, published an article on Psychology Health Medicine (SCI and SSCI doubles) journals.

Studies have shown that the sleeping characteristics of self -reporting for the elderly are closely related to the occurrence of falling and falling related fractures, and longer sleep duration may have a certain protective effect on the falling and falling related fractures of the elderly.

Studies have shown that falling is the "number one killer" for the elderly. Among the 65 -year -olds in my country, more than 40 million people caused by falling due to falling are caused by more than 40 million people, and more than 300,000 people die each year due to falling.

Specifically, falling will not only cause a variety of external injuries, but also due to long -term activity, but also causes negative emotions of indifference, anxiety, irritability, and irritability, which will largely affect the physical and mental of the elderly people. Health has a heavy burden on its own, family and social public health.

Deputy Director of Orthopedics at the Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated to Zhongda University Affiliated to Rui Yunfeng:

There are many reasons for the fractures of the elderly, and sleep is also an important factor. At present, the correlation between sleep and falling, and the fracture caused by falling is still controversial.

In this study, the research team led by Rui Yunfeng was incorporated into 168 elderly patients who had fallen down related fractures, and 4,153 elderly people who did not occur or fractures caused by other reasons. Correction with the falling correlation of fractures.

Among them, the results of the single factor analysis show that the two groups of people's sleep duration and snoring frequency in the sleep characteristics have significant statistical differences. Further analysis results show that with the increase of sleep duration, the incidence of fractures of the elderly has decreased significantly.

Deputy Director of Orthopedics at the Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated to Zhongda University Affiliated to Rui Yunfeng:

Our research found that with the increase of sleep duration, the risk of fracture caused by the falling of the elderly continued to decline. Compared with the normal sleep time 6 to 8 hours, the sleep time is too short, less than 4 hours, or the sleep time is too long, which is greater than 9 hours, which will cause the risk of fracture caused by falling and falling. Essence

It seems that good and sufficient sleep is a solid guarantee for the elderly to maintain a healthy, but it should also be controlled within 9 hours per night. It should not be too long. Excessive drowsiness will increase health risks.

Deputy Director of Orthopedics at the Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated to Zhongda University Affiliated to Rui Yunfeng:

We recommend that the elderly should not only eat well, but also sleep well. Improve sleep quality is very important for preventing fractures related to falling and falling. If the elderly patients accidentally fall, local pain, unable to move, or the pain worse during activity, I suggest not to walk by yourself, or go to the hospital for treatment 120 in time.
