In China, there are more than 65.438+0.8 billion elderly people suffering from chronic diseases, and there are about 65.438+0.5 million senile dementia patients aged 60 and above. In China, the living time of the sick elderly has reached 9.654.38+0 years, and the sick rate of the elderly over 65 years old has reached 2/3.

There are many kinds of senile diseases, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Details are as follows:

1, hypertension: with the increase of age, blood vessels age, blood vessel elasticity weakens, and the wall of the vessel becomes stiff. When the heart ejects blood, it will increase the pressure on the blood vessel wall and cause high blood pressure. Patients with hypertension can take antihypertensive drugs such as amlodipine besylate tablets and valsartan tablets according to the doctor's advice.

2, hyperlipidemia: the metabolic rate of the elderly slows down, if you usually like to eat foods with high fat content such as meat products, it may lead to hyperlipidemia. At this time, you can take atorvastatin calcium tablets, rosuvastatin calcium tablets and other lipid-lowering drugs according to your doctor's advice.

3, diabetes: the organs of the elderly are gradually aging, and the function of islets is also declining, which may lead to relatively insufficient insulin secretion. When blood sugar rises, insulin can not reduce blood sugar to the normal range in time, which may lead to the onset of diabetes. At this time, hypoglycemic drugs such as metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets and acarbose chewable tablets can be taken according to the doctor's advice, and insulin can also be injected if necessary.

With the continuous growth of age, various organs in the human body are aging, some functions of the body are gradually deteriorating, and resistance and immunity are declining. Alzheimer's disease, coronary heart disease, rheumatism, osteoporosis, tumor and other diseases may also occur.
