It’s easy to fall as you get older. Osteoporosis is common in postmenopausal women and older adults. Osteoporosis in men over the age of 80 is a leading cause of geriatric syndrome (frailty syndrome). [사진= 게티이미지뱅크]Research results have shown that the factors that significantly influence the symptoms of geriatric syndrome (frailty syndrome) in the elderly are markedly different for men and women.
A joint research team from University College London in the UK and the Federal University of São Carlos in Brazil found this result after analyzing data from 1,747 older adults who participated in the British Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA), followed for 12 years.
If you have geriatric syndrome, your vision and hearing will decline and you will have difficulty urinating due to bladder problems. You may feel dizzy and show symptoms of delirium (clouding of consciousness, illusions, delusions, delusions, etc.). This is also linked to dementia. If geriatric syndrome occurs, the risk of suffering from falls, hospitalization, lethargy, etc. and dying prematurely is high. This syndrome is characterized by three or more of the following: unwanted weight loss, fatigue, muscle weakness, slow gait, and low levels of physical activity. Elderly syndrome is something that should be considered a priority in primary care medical services.
As the symptoms of “senescence,” such as blurred vision and mind, dizziness, delusions, and delusions worsen, the quality of life worsens.
Research findings show that factors influencing geriatric syndrome differ depending on gender. For men, socioeconomic factors, heart disease, osteoporosis, low weight, and hearing loss have been found to have a significant impact on geriatric syndrome, while for women, diabetes, stroke, and elevated levels of fibrinogen in the blood (an indicator of cardiovascular diseases). have a significant impact on geriatric syndrome. To avoid living with geriatric syndrome, men and women must pay particular attention to risk factors.
The British Longitudinal Study of Aging is a research study exploring the dynamic relationships between the health, functioning, social networks and economic status of people aged 50 and over in the UK. The study began in 2002 and participants were interviewed and assessed every four years between 2004 and 2016. Among the ELSA participants, the research team initially selected and analyzed those aged 60 years and older who did not they had geriatric syndromes and were not classified as prefrail because they had only one or two of several risk factors.
Common risk factors for both men and women… Eliminating sedentary lifestyle and depression can help increase “healthy lifespan”
“The phenomenon of aging is based on biology,” said Dr. Dayane Capra de Oliveira, first author of the study. However, risk factors for geriatric syndrome are deeply linked to men and women’s different socioeconomic roles and access to resources,” she said.
Geriatric syndrome is more common in women. This is partly due to the fact that women live longer. Women are more affected by chronic diseases. Risk factors for geriatric syndrome common to both men and women include low level of education, sedentary lifestyle, and depression. However, differences in body composition and fat accumulation, especially at older ages, have a significant impact on metabolic changes. This could increase the risk of aging.
The results of this study (Does the incidence of frailty differ over time between men and women?) were published in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics.
