Why are the elderly more afraid of winter?

The elderly have low resistance, the function of all parts of the body is weakened, and the temperature is hot and cold, which will cause a chain reaction of various organ systems one after another.

At that time, it was because of the problem of age. Not only because the elderly are afraid of winter, the body is weak, but there are also some patients with high blood pressure, bronchial patients, etc., mainly in winter, the cold and freezing, the elderly are old, and the thinking reflection and hand and foot movements are slow, and some dangers are prone to occur. For example, if the elderly have other diseases, they are more likely to commit them, and if they are healthy, then they are afraid of falling or other In any case, it is better to let the elderly do some indoor exercise appropriately every day.

Eating more meals and less food every day is not harmful to the body. Hope it helps, good luck.

In winter, the temperature is low, the blood of the old people is not as good as that of the young people, and they are afraid of the cold so they are afraid of winter.

Because the elderly have low cold resistance, they are prone to cold hands and feet, and have difficulty moving, which can easily cause a variety of diseases.

The elderly have decreased physical function and are afraid of cold.

I'm also afraid that it will be cold in winter.

Because winter is a period of high incidence of geriatric diseases. Because in winter, the low outdoor temperature can induce many diseases. Older people are susceptible to these diseases due to weakened physical resistance. Among them, in the north, tracheitis and arthritis are the mainstay.

For example, in winter, due to the large difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, it is particularly easy to trigger colds when entering and exiting one cold and one hot. If the resistance of the elderly is not strong, the harm of severe colds to the body of the elderly is very great. And it is easy to have a cold to induce a variety of diseases.

There is a popular saying that "the old man is sad for the winter", which means that many elderly people will die in the cold winter, especially the elderly. And if the old man can survive the winter and survive until the spring, he can live a year safely.

The reason why the elderly are sad about the winter is first related to climatic factors. In winter, the weather is cold and the air is dry, in order to keep out the cold, the body's regulatory function is also changing synchronously, such as decreased sweat secretion, capillary constriction, subcutaneous fat increase, tissue metabolism strengthening, etc., and due to the increase in age, the main organs of the elderly are gradually aging and decreasing function, subcutaneous fat is reduced, the body's metabolic function is low, adaptability and resistance are relatively weak, and the ability to resist cold and disease is not as good as that of young people.

Secondly, many diseases will be high in winter:

Diseases of the respiratory system. Due to the drop in temperature, if the elderly with poor resistance do not add clothes in time, they will easily catch a cold, causing bronchial artery blood circulation disorders, weakened ciliary movement, difficult discharge of respiratory secretions, airway smooth muscle spasm and decreased body resistance, and it is easy to induce respiratory viral infection.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The low temperature environment often causes changes such as rapid heartbeat and vasoconstriction, which leads to an increase in blood pressure and an increase in the workload of the heart. Older people are more likely to have cardiovascular accidents in winter than healthy people.

Fracture. Due to the cold climate in winter, short sunshine hours, reduced outdoor activities for the elderly, insufficient ultraviolet radiation, insufficient vitamin D synthesis, lack of blood circulation in bones, easy precipitation of calcium in bones, and low bone strength and stiffness of many elderly people, a slight fall may cause fractures.

Finally, I have to mention the psychological factor.

First of all, cold will affect mood, Ma Jianwen, a member of the Standing Committee of the Psychological Counseling Professional Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Social Medical Research Association, said that the short sunshine hours in winter and the disorder of melatonin secretion (responsible for controlling the rhythm of sleep and wakefulness) will lead to changes in the serotonin content that produces a "sense of pleasure", and people are prone to depression at this time.

In addition, before and after the Spring Festival, empty nesters have to face the difference between their children and grandchildren, psychological imbalance, emotional fluctuations, and if they are weak and sick, they are also worried about causing trouble to their children, and the psychological burden will also increase.

Winter is also the season of colds, and people with weak constitutions inevitably become the primary target of the flu virus. If it is not timely, it is very likely to cause myocarditis, pneumonia, nephritis and other diseases, and will also aggravate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, lung diseases, diabetes and other underlying diseases. After a cold, the need for cardiopulmonary function will be aggravated, and patients with heart failure are prone to acute exacerbation of heart failure, which induces acute myocardial infarction.

For the elderly with chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and bronchitis, a small cold may cause pneumonia, and if not timely, it will cause chain reactions of multiple organ systems at the same time, such as respiratory failure, heart failure, renal failure, bacterial endocarditis, etc., and the fatality rate of these chain reactions is very high.

Slippery fractures in cold weather can lead to a variety of complications that may cause the elderly to not survive the winter.

After the winter, the number of fractures in the elderly has increased significantly. In winter, the elderly are slow to go out, and accidentally falling on their heels will cause fractures and bone cracks. Once a fracture occurs in the elderly, it is easy to lead to the aggravation of the original geriatric diseases, urinary tract infection, bedsores, pneumonia and other complications.

In addition, some fracture patients are bedridden for a long time, which is more likely to form deep vein thrombosis, and thrombus will travel with blood circulation to lead to pulmonary embolism, and in severe cases, it can lead to sudden death of fracture patients; In addition, post-fracture hypercoagulability increases the chance of thrombosis.

Based on the above situation, in order to allow the elderly to survive the cold winter smoothly and safely, we must pay attention to keeping warm, increasing indoor exercise, and reducing travel in rainy and snowy weather, so as to ensure that the elderly can survive the difficult hurdles in winter!

This is because in winter, the human capillaries constrict, and the increase in the peripheral resistance of blood circulation will cause blood pressure to rise and promote thrombosis, so older people are more likely to induce stroke. Once the best time to see a doctor is missed in a stroke, the life safety of the elderly will not be guaranteed.

This is because the elderly themselves are physically weak. At the same time, each organ has a certain aging and poor functionality.

In winter, due to the colder weather, the blood vessels and heart are under more stress.

When receiving cold air and a sudden drop in temperature, the burden on the heart suddenly increases, and the blood vessels may suddenly constrict. In this way, it will lead to the occurrence of many diseases. Accidents can occur.

Because the weather is cold in winter, the weather is cold, and it is easy to cause many diseases.

For example, high blood pressure, or respiratory diseases such as asthma.

And when the elderly encounter this kind of problem, it is easy to get through.

Therefore, for many old people, winter is a hurdle.

Because the temperature is low in winter and the temperature plummets, the blood vessels of the elderly are constricted, and they are prone to stroke, and then cerebral hemorrhage. The temperature is low, the physical indicators of the elderly have been reduced, the ability to resist the cold is weak, there is no time to go out to bask in the sun, a person is in a bad mood at home, depressed, and easy to get sick, which affects physical health in many aspects. In winter, we should care about the health of the elderly, and if there is a problem, it will be timely**.

Because the elderly are weak, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular organs and various organs are relatively fragile, and the weather and temperature are poor, it is easy to lead to old diseases**, so it is difficult for the elderly to survive the winter.

Because the old man is weak. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular organs are fragile.

And the weather is colder in winter. It affects the circulation of various systems of the body. Causes various diseases. It's also easier to catch a cold. So the elderly are more afraid of winter.

Because the temperature is relatively low in winter, the body functions are not normal.

Because the weather is relatively cold in winter, the blood circulation of the human body is relatively slow, especially the elderly, most of whom have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so the incidence of the elderly in winter is relatively high.

Because the elderly with poor health and poor resistance have a large difference in temperature in winter, it is said that it is most likely to lead to old diseases**.

The climate changes in the four seasons, especially in winter, which is too cold, and some elderly people can't stand the toss.

There is no such statement, it should be cold in winter, the road will be slippery, and then the old man who is not in good health happens to fall, so there is this kind of saying.

First of all, the cold weather is freezing, and the cold air prompts the human blood vessel elasticity to decrease, and the body needs more calories.

In addition, the bone density of the elderly is relatively low, and the toughness of the bones is lower in winter, and if you do some unreasonable exercises, it is easy to have fractures; In addition, in winter, it is often in a closed environment, with poor air circulation, and respiratory problems are also common.

Therefore, there is a folk saying that winter is the "ghost gate" for the elderly. This statement is precisely to show that winter is more likely to induce illness and lead to exacerbation. Therefore, the elderly should be very careful to survive the winter.

Hello, the winter climate is very cold, and many young people need to wear thick clothes, and even then, they often feel cold hands and feet. The physical function of the elderly is far inferior to that of young people, and the resistance is poor, once the weather is cold, the huge temperature difference can easily induce or aggravate some chronic diseases, which threatens life.

The winter in the north is comfortable, the room is very warm, there is heating, and you can also burn the kang in the countryside.
