How is easy fracture to return a responsibility?

summary

One is the external environmental factors, so these diseases seem very small, but cause great harm to people's health. In winter, it is freezing in many places, and the ground often becomes harder, which makes people more likely to slip in ice and snow days; The second is that when people enter the cold winter, their clothes will become thicker, which makes them more clumsy in action, especially the middle-aged and old people. Therefore, winter is more likely to cause people to slip and fracture than other seasons. So let's share how easy fracture is?.

How is easy fracture to return a responsibility?

First: osteoporosis: it is the main cause of fracture in the elderly. Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass and destruction of bone microstructure, which leads to increased bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. It is related to aging and is directly reflected by the calcium content of human bone. The content of calcium in human bone has experienced three stages: increasing, stabilizing and decreasing. ① the period from birth to 30 years old is a period of rapid growth of bone, especially before 15 years old; ② Bone mass peaked and remained stable at 30-45 years old; ③ Bone mass began to decrease after 45 years old; ④ Rapid bone loss after menopause; ⑤ Bone loss can reach 40% - 50% in women over 70 years old. Slight external force can lead to fracture.

Second: Fall: external force after fall is one of the causes of fracture in the elderly. According to statistics, 22% - 60% of the elderly have been injured due to fall, of which fracture accounts for 5%. Severe hip fracture is the first cause of death in the elderly. According to statistics, the incidence of hip fracture in 80-84 years old falls is 100 times higher than that in 60-64 years old falls. With the growth of age, the physiological function of maintaining musculoskeletal movement system of the elderly is decreased, resulting in the decline of gait coordination, balance stability and muscle strength.

Third: in addition, the elderly's vision, hearing, vestibular function, proprioception decline, the ability to judge the external environment decline, coupled with less and less activity, fall risk increases. Secondly, the elderly are prone to cerebrovascular and neuropsychiatric diseases, leading to gait instability, muscle function weakening or syncope, which is also the cause of falls and fractures in the elderly.

matters needing attention

Pay attention to the antiskid floor and shoes, the elderly had better not wear slippers; The lighting of stairs, aisles and toilets should be sufficient, and the ground should be kept dry to prevent ponding and freezing; A handle convenient for the elderly should be installed beside the bathroom and toilet.
