Why does population grow?

The simple answer, "too many kids," isonly partially correct.

This demographic grow and ageing is

the outcome of a number ofsimultaneous demographic trends:

and they must not only be in good physicaland mental health but also have good

prospects of remaining so for a long timeto come.

Ageing is a process which no individualcan esca e.

However, the impact of ageing can varydepending not only on genetic factors but

also reflecting a range of characteristics,such as profession, income, lifestyle orquality of life.

7 recommendations

for successfulaging


52/64

1. Stay active Get involved with a social group so you

get out of the house at least two days aweek. It has completely changed life.

2 Know your


53/64

2. Know your

pharmaceuticalsMake sure that all of the doctors, nurses,

pharmacists and others who care for yourloved one are all communicating with each

.


54/64

3. List your daily needs Work with the health care team to evaluate the

needs of your loved ones daily living activities(everything from dressing and bathing totransportation and meal preparation). Determine

,

create a schedule of who can help them witheach one. Many times, an elderly patientsdecline is related less to the medical conditionsthemselves than to the basic daily activitiesneeded to maintain a persons functional status.


55/64

4. Consider the risks Talk openly and honestly with your health care

provider about the true risks and benefits of allmedical interventions. Many times, treatmentsthat seem standard for most patients start tohave higher risks for elderly people that begin tooutweigh the benefits. This is the case forcholesterol therapy, strict control of diabetes andpreventative tests for colon or breast cancer.


56/64

5. Keep moving Exercise, exercise, exercise!

A sedentary lifestyle in older age isparticularly dangerous as it puts you at

decline.


57/64

6. Start the conversation Begin to talk about end of life issues

openly and honestly with your family andyour doctor.


58/64

7. Stay social If youve determined your loved one

needs to go into a nursing home, makesure it offers plenty of social and cultural

.

activities are as least as important as themedical care they receive.
