As the saying goes: is always afraid of falling, and less afraid of crookedness.
When I was old and old, I was afraid of falling. This is not a trivial matter. Maybe it will hurt my muscles and bones, and it is possible that I can't even get up after falling asleep.
A study and investigation show that among the elderly over 65 years old, falling is the first priority for those who can cause injury and death.
Many elderly people are fine and have no problem, and their bodies are very strong, but after falling down, they become completely different, so we must pay attention to the problem of falling down by the elderly.
Recently, there was a news that made people feel heartbreaking.
is the great physicist of our country, Mr. Yang Zhenning . He accidentally fell down when he celebrated his 100th birthday. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. It is said that there is no major problem at present, and he is also lucky in misfortune.
Mr. Yang Zhenning is now a hundred years old. His body has always looked very good. He can also walk around and participate in some activities. This time, the fall is very heartbreaking.
According to relevant sources, Mr. Yang Zhenning was not seriously injured this time, so he twisted his shoulders. Now he can work on the bed through a tablet and is in good spirits. Everyone can rest assured.
Why did Mr. Yang Zhenning fall this time attract so many people's attention?
actually has two reasons. One is that Mr. Yang Zhenning is more famous, and the other is that the centenarian fell down.
So many people are worried.
Why do elderly people fall down and become things that their relatives care about very much?
It is very likely that the old man's fall is the last fall.
Everyone knows that older people will slowly lose calcium in their bones, which is also easy to cause osteoporosis , so once the elderly fall, it is highly likely to cause fractures.
The elderly are different from young people. If a young person falls, he gets up and pats his butt and can leave. However, the elderly are different. As long as he falls, even if there is no harm on the surface, he needs to be checked.
Because " has many diseases in one person " is a very common phenomenon. Only after examination can you know if you will fall and affect other chronic diseases.
like hypertension and other chronic diseases. I usually take medicine and can’t tell it. If other diseases are caused by falling, it’s hard to say.
In addition, because the elderly are older, their physical functions have declined, their muscles are slowly shrinking, and their balance ability has also decreased, which increases the chances of falling in the elderly.
What harm does falling down have to the elderly?
fracture is the most common, but normally, fractures will not directly cause death in the elderly, but may cause other complications when recovering.
For the elderly, fracture means that they have to lie in bed for a long time. During these months, they cannot get out of bed and walk around. At this time, various infections are prone to occur. At the same time, other symptoms that are not paid attention to in normal times will have indelible effects on the elderly's bodies due to long-term bed rest.
Intracranial hemorrhage . In this case, it is usually when you fall and kowtow to the head. It is very dangerous for the elderly. It can be said that if the elderly experience cerebral hemorrhage , it will basically be gone, because the elderly are older and it is not realistic to have surgery. Even if the surgery is successful, how much vitality can the elderly have to recover their bodies?
After the elderly fell, many people's first reaction was that if they had the ability to stand up, they would stand up quickly. This is wrong.
The elderly fall, do not rub . Many elderly people fall down and feel nothing is wrong. They quickly rub the painful parts and stand up. However, if the wrist joint, hip joint and spine that are injured, etc., will cause joint dislocation when rubbing.Causes more serious damage.
In addition, after the elderly fall, do not move immediately, such as standing up and walking, etc., and you should sit more and rest more, and get up and move when you are sure there is no pain. If the pain is obvious after the fall, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
A few tips for the elderly to prevent falling, you can learn:
The elderly should reduce going out in winter. The weather is cold in winter and the road is slippery, which increases the risk of falling.
Elderly people try to wear comfortable and non-slip sports shoes or travel shoes when going out.
There is diabetes . When the elderly with high blood pressure go out, they must first adjust their blood sugar or blood pressure to normal.
The elderly should strengthen calcium supplementation, supplement vitamins, and prevent osteoporosis.
Some details that the elderly need to pay attention to.
First of all, it is some moments when the falls are high.
Studies have shown that many elderly people fall down at home that they think are safe. They live in their homes for life and have a clear mind wherever they have, so many elderly people don’t pay attention to it.
Especially when you wake up at night, you bump into various things and fall down when you take a shower due to slippery weather.
Second, it is necessary to increase exercise.
Exercise for the elderly is different from that for young people. The physical exercise of the elderly requires appropriate amounts. If the amount of
is small, the effect is not large. If the amount is large, it is easy to cause other damage, so it is necessary to have appropriate amounts.
Generally, walking, doing Tai Chi, or square dance are OK, but the amount of exercise is not large, and it just achieves the effect.
The third is to focus on nutrient absorption.
The elderly have osteoporosis, so calcium supplementation is needed.
and protein are also very important. Many elderly people eat too lightly in their lives, but they are actually lacking their bodies, but they don’t pay attention to it and have not received any supplements. Therefore, it is recommended to eat some fish regularly and eat some eggs and milk foods reasonably.
Fourth, pay attention to physical examination.
Many times, the elderly do not know that they are sick. Only when the illness comes, will they realize that it is already very serious.
. The country has free physical examinations every year, so I suggest that the elderly should go for physical examinations, at least have a sense of their own body.
is written at the end.
For the elderly, falling is actually not fatal. It often causes other diseases to occur due to falls, which can cause fatal damage to the elderly.
The old man, if he fell down, he is not afraid. All we can do is seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
For children, if an elderly person falls, in addition to physical treatment for the elderly, they also need to comfort the psychological trauma of the elderly. After all, the elderly are more afraid of falling than anyone else.
We can’t prevent the elderly from falling. What we can do is that the elderly can receive the correct treatment after falling down. This is what we should do.
