The bone and joint disease is also very popular among the people. Up to 6% of people aged 16 years and older with osteoarthritis patients. However, in those over 60 years of age, the incidence of osteoarthritis becomes very high, up to 60%.
The cause of musculoskeletal diseases in the elderly
There are many reasons can explain the increase in dizziness bone and joint diseases in the elderly. First there is the aging of the body.
Next is the environmental conditions, social, cultural and
unfavorable
(pollution, heavy labor, weather changes frequently, economic
backwardness, educational level, awareness of people limited). As we all know, the movement of our machine made of muscles, bones and joints, visual effects for the entire body.
The skeletal system of the body to form a solid frame that protects the
organs of vital importance as the brain, spinal cord, the organs in the
chest, abdomen.
The coordination of the musculoskeletal system with one another and
with other agencies to allow people to move in space, and labor
activities. The young man reached the maximum physical growth.
Their motor apparatus for smooth operation, perfect, good coordination
with other agencies in the body such as nervous, cardiovascular,
respiratory. So they can perform complex actions, which endurance stamina, endurance.
But with age, the elderly in the degradation process occurs throughout
the body, which must include the aging of the motor apparatus
(musculoskeletal). Motor apparatus becomes moss, like a motorcycle old, rusty, difficult to perform motor functions as well as younger days.
Motor apparatus thus become more vulnerable, hard to resist with the
harsh elements of the environment such as injuries, accidents and
diseases.
Besides a significant number of elderly people who have been suffering
from arthritis for many years before, leaving serious sequelae as they
enter old age. The result is a common joint disease more often in the elderly. It is osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, lumbar spine pain, gout, bone cancer. Can say na osteoarthritis is the consequence of aging joints, and osteoporosis is due to aging skeletal system of the body.
It is worth noting that older people often suffer multiple concurrent
diseases such as hypertension, Parkinson's disease, as patients are
prone to falls resulting in broken bones and even death.
But gout is expressed protein metabolism of the body, a metabolic
problem, often accompanied by metabolic disorders such as metabolic
disorders causing sugar diabetes or dyslipidemia fibrosis
atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular accident.
But cancer is usually secondary to bone, the consequences of metastatic
cancers from other areas such as lung cancer, bone, breast, stomach,
prostate, multiple myeloma bone disease.
These measures help detect diseases early osteoarthritis in the elderly
Today modern medicine can be detected early and effective control of
musculoskeletal diseases such as computerized tomography, nuclear
magnetic resonance, capture radioactive isotopes.
The technique needle aspiration cytology small muscle biopsy, bone,
joint synovial membrane, diagnostic ultrasound, biochemical tests,
immunity being applied to improve the quality of diagnosis of
musculoskeletal . Some genetic tests before being allowed to know some of the risk of arthritis since the child was still in the womb.
However, the patient is the first person known to note early detection of disease.
The early manifestations of the disease osteoarthritis is pain in any
position of the motor apparatus even to the muscles, bones or joints and
restricted movement. Symptoms may be accompanied by other symptoms of swelling, heat, redness. It is the first cause cause personal attention to his campaign apparatus. To detect early disease, the patient should be formed "medical culture". That means that when there are symptoms should see a specialist immediately. Do not have workaholic, hesitate to come visit when seriously ill, it is very costly but effective gain is how.
It must be emphasized decisive role of doctors, especially specialists osteoarthritis.
Only oncologist new osteoarthritis experts discovered right and timely
treatment of bone and joint diseases as well as can be effective
counseling for patients.
The determination of the growth factors themselves and the environment
are the risk factors also help physicians assess the comprehensive
ability disease, the prognosis is the severity of the disease.
Osteoporosis is a common disorder in the elderly
The measures to prevent the disease osteoarthritis in the elderly.
Currently there are a lot of treatment and effective prevention of bone and joint diseases in the elderly.
First it's a diet, healthy living, combined with medication regimen
consistent with pathological characteristics of the elderly. Also the help and encouragement of family social roles are important. It is active in the health club elderly reinforce physical health and morale for the elderly. The treatment of drug-like qigong, tai chi is often effective in the elderly large.
