Over 60 &Nbsp Old People In China Are Over 180 Million Years Old.

According to the voice of China news evening peak, today is "World Health Day", "aging and health" has become the theme of this year's attention.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of health, over 60 of the elderly people over the age of 180 million are in China, and the number of them is increasing by 5 million -800 million each year.

The movie "peach sister" lets more people begin to pay attention to the living state of the elderly, in addition to caring for their physical condition, let us walk into their lonely hearts, to see the psychological needs of the elderly.

In fact, there are more "peach sister" in reality. In a nursing home in Dalian, there is a more than 80 year old man who is physically strong and able to take care of his life. But there is no peace in her heart.

Old man: Oh, really a person's life is really bad, muddle headed, confused day, many children, but people still have to work, people can also take care of me, people can not care about it, I am so confused and confused for a day, I also ruined myself, and I was not such a person.

"Where is home?" this problem not only reflects the problem of home care for the elderly, but also reflects on the society, how to build a healthy old age environment, so that more people can enter the old age with dignity and dignity.

In China, the number of elderly people over the age of 65 is nearly 130 million, and by 2050, this figure will reach 332 million, more than 23% of the total population.

The problem of population aging is particularly serious in our developing population country.

According to Zhang Tiemei, deputy director of the Beijing geriatrics Institute of the Ministry of health, at present, 26 provinces and cities in 31 provinces and cities of China have entered the aging state.

Zhang Tiemei: under the condition of very fast aging and large amount of population, we also notice that the distribution of population aging is uneven in mainland China. The aging of population is actually not a problem faced by a Chinese country. It is a problem of the world and even the first problem in the process of human development. It also poses great challenges to the development of social economy. For example, if the elderly population is too large, then he will definitely be there.

In fact, the problems posed by aging not only happen in China, but according to the United Nations statistics, by 2050, 80% of the elderly population will live in low and middle income countries.

How to ensure the necessary medical and social systems for the aging society has become a pressing matter of the moment.

According to Zhang Tiemei's introduction, the problem of population aging has also increased the number of chronic diseases.

Zhang Tiemei: with the aggravation of aging, from 2010 to 2020 to 2030, the impact of aging itself on the number of chronic diseases is very large. Especially after the age of 65, there is a large number of chronic diseases in this area, and men are more serious than women.

It must bring about an increase in the burden of disease.

According to the statistics information center of Ministry of health, the disease burden in China accounted for 12.9% of GDP in 2005, of which chronic disease reached 8.1%, while 40% came from the elderly.

Zhang Tiemei: in fact, there is another problem for the elderly, that is, the medical consequences of the elderly are not very ideal. The same disease, the number of elderly disabled, disabled and even death is increasing, so the daily life care needs of the elderly are increasing. Both in urban and rural areas, the number of elderly people who need care is increased by 3 times and 4 times.

However, in the current social environment in China, the family structure has also brought about the conflict of family resources. 4 elderly people, 1 children, and many families are unable to balance the two things in the elderly's illness and children's schooling, resulting in heavier family burden.

Tang Zhenxing, deputy director of the Department of career development of the National Committee on the work of the elderly, believes that it is essential to satisfy the elderly's life care. How to better meet the psychological and spiritual needs of the elderly is a further consideration.

Tang Zhenxing: although old people say that people are old, their functions are still in activity and still have to contact with society. If they do not participate in social life, it is a great hazard to their health, especially in the elderly mental health.

We are now advocating that community home care for the elderly, through the community to provide a wide range of services to meet the needs of the elderly, in the family's ten minute activity circle, can enjoy the community dining, activities to the activity room, basic medical care can also be resolved, but more health care can be solved through the community health service station, to solve the problem of the elderly to the hospital fatigue, through home care to solve these problems, he can be able to live comfortably, so as to enjoy the old age.
