Physical health knowledge of the elderly: health standard Article 1: No serious illness, stable condition Minor illness "No serious illness" refers to the deterioration of important organs such as heart, brain and kidney due to age, but it has not caused abnormal function, and has not suffered from malignant tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (such as myocardial infarction and stroke).

"Minor illness stability" means that some related high-risk factors can be controlled within the standard range suitable for this age group. For example, although there are hypertension and diabetes, it can be controlled within a reasonable range by taking medicine and changing lifestyle, and will not cause complications such as heart and kidney. The related high-risk factors of the elderly refer to the related risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, mainly hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. The specific data of these risk factors control targets are given in the standard: 1. Blood pressure.

People without high blood pressure

Non-diabetes: 5.0% ~ 6.5%; Diabetes without complications: 6.0%~7.0%. 3. blood lipids.

Total blood cholesterol is 3. 1~6.2 mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is 1.8~3.9 mmol/L, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is >: 1.0 mmol/L, and triglyceride is 0.8 ~ 2.3 mmol/L. Article 2: Intellectual. Self-satisfaction or self-evaluation is a relatively new concept of the health of the elderly in the world.

With the help of family members, the elderly can make a simple assessment with MMSE. The score of each question is 1, with a full score of 30. Older people with a junior high school education level of ≥27 are classified as normal, and older people with a education level of ≥25 are classified as normal.

The specific questions are as follows: 1. What year is this year? 2. What season is it now? 3.what's the date today? 4. What day is it today? 5. What month is it now? 6. Which country are you in now? 7. Which province (city)? 8. What is the specific address? 9. What floor do you live on now? 10. What is this place? 1 1. Repeat: Look. 12. I repeat: pen.

28. Let the old man put the paper on his left leg. 29. Write a complete sentence.

30. Draw according to the sample, as shown below. Note: for the question 1 1~ 13, the elderly should say three things in succession; Question 26-28, it is necessary to make three action instructions in succession. For hemiplegic patients, the conductor can be the healthy hand; Question 29: Only when the subject, predicate and object of the sentence are complete can you score; Question 30: The figure drawn by the patient has the correct spatial relationship, that is, two pentagons cross and form a quadrilateral in the middle to score points.

Article 3: Elderly people with healthy mentality should fully understand their physical strength, mental state and social participation potential throughout their lives. Even very old people can contribute to their families, society and country, and increase their sense of happiness and belonging.

Such as cooking, cleaning and so on. , contribute to the family, is the performance of mental health. The mental state of the elderly can be evaluated by the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS).

Article 4: It is very important to evaluate the activity ability of the elderly who can take care of themselves. Whether you can maintain a basic life can be evaluated by ADL of the elderly. See the table on the left 1. It is normal for the elderly to reach 100, and it is normal for the elderly to reach 95.

Article 5: A good and regular lifestyle is the foundation of the health of the elderly. We should have a regular daily life, moderate diet, no unnecessary work, a calm mood, and quit smoking and drinking cautiously. It is mainly measured from five aspects.

1. Diet therapy. Make sure to consume 1 kg of fruits and vegetables, 1 egg, not less than 1 200ml of water, 2 ounces of oil and not more than 6g of salt (equivalent to1beer bottle cap) every day.

2. Quit smoking. Studies have shown that lung function began to improve after quitting smoking for 3 months, and the risk of heart attack decreased by 50% after 1 year.

3. Exercise. The elderly can choose brisk walking, swimming, dancing, cycling and other aerobic exercises according to their own conditions.

3~5 times a week, the amount of exercise should reach the standard of heart rate 120 times/minute, and the body is slightly sweating. 4. Be careful with the wine.

Moderate drinking is good for health. The specific standard is alcohol ≤25g/ day, which is approximately equal to beer ≤ 750ml, wine ≤ 250ml and high-concentration liquor ≤ 50ml. Patients with hypertension had better give up drinking.

5. Mental health. What healthy old people should do: study hard and understand fashion; Do more housework, ingenuity; Friends get together and attend more; When encountering difficulties, take the initiative to seek help; Help others and be happy.

If you can meet the above five standards, congratulations, you are a healthy old man. If you are not old enough, start now and set a goal to become a healthy old man in the future.

Health knowledge of the elderly: bad performance 1. The way of walking is very strange. Have you noticed that your parents have become dull recently or not?

2. What are the contents of health care for the elderly?

Health care for the elderly should start from three aspects: first, adhere to good hygiene habits, such as washing hands before and after meals, drinking boiled water instead of raw water, washing raw fruits and vegetables, eating together, using public chopsticks instead of drinking cups, opening windows for ventilation, not going to crowded places in winter and spring, and wearing masks when going out in cold season.

The second is vaccination, including influenza vaccine, pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine and typhoid vaccine. Third, to prevent accidental injuries such as falls, we should pay attention to improving the community environment, facilities and residential building design of the elderly and create a good social support environment for the elderly; Carry out psychological counseling for the elderly and health education for their children, guide the elderly to carry out appropriate intellectual activities and participate in lively recreational activities, such as reading books and newspapers frequently and giving new information to the brain, so as to improve blood supply to the brain, delay brain atrophy and achieve moderate rest.

In recent years, a large number of advertisements for medical and health foods, medicines and devices in society have been exaggerated or even falsely publicized. Under the banner of "community", some units or individuals publicize and organize the elderly to go to informal medical institutions for physical examination and purchase medical and health services, which also does harm to the physical and mental health of the elderly. In view of the above situation, it is suggested that children should persuade the elderly not to participate in medical and health activities organized by informal medical and health units, let alone go to unqualified medical institutions for physical examination.

It is necessary to take the elderly to a regular place for physical examination, and also to supervise the elderly to maintain hygienic habits.

3. What health knowledge do the elderly have?

Health knowledge of the elderly: health standards

Article 1: No serious illness, stable minor illness.

"No serious illness" means that the heart, brain, kidney and other important organs degenerate with age, but they have not caused abnormal functions, and they have not suffered from malignant tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (such as myocardial infarction and stroke). "Minor illness stability" means that some related high-risk factors can be controlled within the standard range suitable for this age group. For example, although there are hypertension and diabetes, it can be controlled within a reasonable range by taking medicine and changing lifestyle, and will not cause complications such as heart and kidney. The related high-risk factors of the elderly refer to the related risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. Specific data of the control objectives of these risk factors are given in the standard:

Article 3: Mental health

The elderly should fully realize their physical strength, mental state and social participation potential in the whole life process. Even very old people can contribute to their families, society and country, and increase their sense of happiness and belonging. Such as cooking, cleaning and so on. , contribute to the family, is the performance of mental health.

4. What is the common medical knowledge about middle-aged and elderly people?

Hello, there are many topics about physical therapy knowledge of middle-aged and elderly people.

But how to keep the heart healthy has become a topic of concern to most middle-aged and elderly people. I will share an article on health preservation with you. The following eight lifestyles will be very beneficial for middle-aged and elderly friends to keep their hearts healthy.

Eight Lifestyles for Keeping the Heart Healthy of Middle-aged and Old People —— (Excerpted from Jindaosui Financial Insurance Network) 1. Sleep at least seven hours a day, and up to eight hours if necessary. Too little sleep will cause metabolic changes and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. In both cases, the risk of heart disease will also increase.

Moreover, a recent study by the University of Chicago also shows that adults who sleep too little every night will lead to increased calcium deposition in the arteries. 2. Know your blood pressure. We know that hypertension is the chief culprit of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

We usually think that it is normal to keep blood pressure in the range of120/80 ~130/85 mmhg. In fact, if you can lower your blood pressure from 130/85 to 1 15/76, it means that your body is young 10 years old.

At present, there is no data showing that taking drugs to lower blood pressure can achieve the effect of making people younger. It is still recommended to exercise to lose weight and decompress, and the benefits of physical activity are often immediate.

3. Avoid exposure to second-hand smoke. Don't let others smoke in your room. Passive smoking for an hour is equivalent to smoking two to four cigarettes. Walk for half an hour every day. A study by Harvard University shows that for every extra hour of exercise in a person's life, his life expectancy will increase by two hours.

Regular exercise every day contributes to the pumping function of the heart and anti-aging. 5. Eating fish three times a week advocates eating more fish not only because omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are beneficial to the heart and arteries, but also because a large number of animal studies show that protein in fish meat plays an important role in cardiovascular health.

If you don't like seafood, eating 30 grams of walnuts every day can also provide omega-3 fatty acids for your body. 6. Take half an aspirin every day. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that low-dose aspirin can help prevent heart disease and cancer in women, but the most convincing evidence is that aspirin can reduce the occurrence of stroke.

For middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, it is recommended to take 150 mg every day and drink half a glass of water before and after taking the medicine to reduce the * * * effect of the medicine on the stomach. 7. Reducing life stress Chronic stress not only affects sleep, but also is bad for cardiovascular health, so it is very important to learn to decompress yourself.

8. Controlling infection and chronic infection can improve the body's ability to fight bleeding and lead to an increased risk of heart attack. Chronic oral infectious diseases are also one of the risk factors leading to cardiovascular diseases.

I wish you good health and a happy life. Source of this article:.

5. How can the elderly be healthy?

The multi-dimensional evaluation proposed by the World Health Organization only includes five aspects: (1) Physical health: refers to physical health, no obvious deformity of trunk and no obvious hunchback; The elderly have no common diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke, and their hearts are basically normal, and there are no other organic heart diseases. There were no obvious pulmonary insufficiency and chronic lung diseases in the lungs; No cirrhosis, nephropathy and malignant tumor.

The nervous system is basically normal, and there are no neurological diseases such as hemiplegia and Alzheimer's disease. Moderate weight.

The simple formula for calculating the standard weight in health of the elderly is: male: height (cm)-105 = weight (kg); female: height (cm)-100 = weight (kg); (2) Strong self-care ability: strong self-care ability, managing your family well. (3) Social health: including the relationship with children, the degree of community participation, interpersonal relationships, etc.

Can properly handle the interpersonal relationship between family and society; Take an active part in family and social activities. (4) Economic situation: Whether living on pension, retirement pension or children's support, the elderly must be financially independent, so as to live in peace of mind, have better entertainment and maintain a good lifestyle.

6. Nursing knowledge of the elderly

The health and longevity of the elderly have a great relationship with the quality of family basic care. It is not the primary disease that eventually leads to the death of some elderly people, but the complications caused by lack of nursing knowledge and improper nursing. It can be seen that basic nursing plays a very important role in the health of the elderly.

Rest environment for the elderly

The factors of family rest environment are:

Maintaining an appropriate indoor temperature not only makes the elderly feel comfortable and stable, but also helps the body to carry out metabolism and prevent diseases. The indoor temperature should be 18 ~ 20℃, and it can be relatively high (22 ~ 24℃) in summer to reduce the indoor and outdoor temperature difference. If the room temperature is too low, the elderly are prone to catch a cold; If the room temperature is too high, it is easy to make people tired and depressed. It should be pointed out that for the elderly with chronic respiratory diseases, too high room temperature is likely to make the elderly feel stuffy, have poor breathing and aggravate dyspnea. Cool room temperature and circulating air will make it easy for the elderly to exchange gases, increase blood oxygen concentration and improve breathing.

Humidity generally refers to the content of water in the air. The air humidity is high, and the evaporation of human body is weak, which inhibits sweating and makes people feel humid and sultry, and the elderly with cardiac insufficiency will feel suffocated. Because the evaporation of skin and breathing water decreases, the amount of urination increases, which increases the burden on the kidneys. When the air is too dry, the human body will evaporate a lot of water, causing discomfort such as dry skin, dry mouth and sore throat. In the elderly with respiratory diseases, dry air makes respiratory mucosa dry, and sputum is not easy to cough up, which increases the chance of lung infection and aggravates the condition. The optimum indoor humidity should be 50%~60%. Proper humidity will make people feel refreshed and relaxed. In recent years, it is a good way for air humidifiers to enter the home. It is also effective to increase humidity by soil methods, such as sprinkling water on the ground, putting a sink on the heater, or putting wet towels. I suggest you buy a thermometer, master the temperature and humidity scientifically, and let it serve your health.

Ventilation Patients with pulmonary heart disease and respiratory failure must put their beds in the center of a ventilated room to feel that breathing is labor-saving. Similarly, fresh air is particularly important for elderly patients. Opening the window in the morning for ventilation can discharge indoor exhaust gas and make fresh air supplement. Generally, it takes 20~3 0 minutes to open the window to update the indoor air. For the frail old people, when they are ventilated, they can temporarily go to other rooms to avoid cold air. This can keep the indoor air fresh and not catch a cold.

Noise research shows that when the noise is 50~60 decibels, the average person will feel noisy. Most of the noise at home is caused by loud noise and excessive volume. Generally, old people like to be quiet. For the elderly with heart disease, quietness is a kind of treatment, and creating a quiet and elegant environment in the family is conducive to the elderly to recuperate.

Daylighting is the best room for the elderly, and indoor sunshine is particularly important for the elderly. When the sun shines, infrared rays are absorbed by the skin, which warms the deep tissues, dilates blood vessels, accelerates blood flow, improves the nutritional status of skin tissues and makes people feel comfortable. If you open the glass window and let the sun shine directly into the room, the ultraviolet rays in the sun also have disinfection and sterilization effects.

Old people should choose a hard bed, and it is best to sleep on a bed without a mattress. The height of the bed should be below the knee and the length of the calf. Too high or too low will bring inconvenience to the elderly and increase the chance of falling.

Family morning and evening care

Morning and evening care can make the elderly feel comfortable, happy and relaxed, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of diseases.

Exercise in bed: wake up in the morning, don't get up in a hurry, lie still in bed for more than ten minutes, and do necessary exercise in bed; Stretch one's limbs; Rub each other with your hands and move your knuckles; Then do "dry face washing" 20~30 times. These actions can make the elderly adapt to the physiological changes from sleep to awakening, so that the body has a relatively transitional stage, so that it will not fall down because of sudden dizziness, and it can also gradually change the frequency of breathing and heartbeat to avoid the recurrence of heart disease.

Toilet exercise: brushing teeth, gargling, washing face and combing hair are also very beneficial exercises for the elderly. When brushing your teeth, your upper limbs are active, so you should do it carefully. Cough exercise should be carried out after gargling to cough up phlegm in the respiratory tract. Cough without phlegm itself (even a few dry coughs) is beneficial to the expansion of alveoli and reduces the chance of lung infection. When washing your face, you can smooth your face and increase blood circulation. On the one hand, combing hair can increase the blood circulation of scalp, improve scalp nutrition and prevent hair loss; On the other hand, combing the hair also exercises the lifting action of the upper limbs. Comb your hair with a blunt wooden comb 100 times every morning and evening, and alternate your hands, which is very beneficial to the health of the elderly.

Outdoor sports: Appropriate outdoor sports, such as walking, jogging, doing exercises and practicing all kinds of boxing are the means for the elderly to enhance their own quality and improve their resistance. Morning exercise also laid the foundation for a day's life and work.

Bath at night: Besides repeating a set of activities in the bathroom in the morning, conditional elderly people can also take a bath before going to bed, which can dilate blood vessels in the whole body, relax muscles, reduce blood supply to the head and help them fall asleep. For most elderly people who are physically inconvenient or have no bathing conditions, soaking their feet with warm water is also very beneficial to promoting health and sleep. Old people's families should prepare a plastic bucket, fill it with warm water to their knees, and soak it for 15~20 minutes before going to bed. People who can move should rub their lower limbs with their hands, so that the blood vessels in the lower limbs will expand, the muscles will relax, and the blood circulation in the whole body will be accelerated, which can relieve fatigue. That warm and relaxed feeling can promote rest and sleep.
