Title: The Winter's effects on the elderly


1
Effects of winter on old age people
Winter comes with shiny snow, holidays, and other
extended health problems - especially for the
elderly. Older adults can lose their body
temperature quickly much faster than the
younger. Changes in your body associated with
aging can make it difficult to recognize the
cold. A severe cold can turn into a serious
problem before an adult knows what is happening.
If you are in old age and need a home attendant
for elderly in Mumbai contact Karambhumi.

It is a good idea to know what to look for and
expect in order to stay healthy this season or
keep an eye on the elderly caregiver. Here are
some ways winter can affect adults Cardiovascula
r diseases Cardiovascular diseases Mercury falls
have a direct impact on the cardiovascular system
of the elderly. Cold weather leads to higher
blood pressure and thus increases the risk of
heart attack and stroke. Risk of
Hypothermia Adults usually produce less body
heat, which means they are often colder than
younger people. Hypothermia occurs when the body
is so cold that it begins to close. Hypothermia
is a less obvious threat to vulnerable adults and
requires urgent treatment. Symptoms of
hypothermia include slowing and moving movements,
drowsiness, slurred or irregular speech, and
confusion.

Chronic pain often arises It is not uncommon for
adults to experience chronic pain such as
arthritis. When it is cold outside, most people
realize that their symptoms are getting worse.
This can lead to an overdose of painkillers,
whether prescribed or over-the-counter. Talk to
your doctor or caretaker for senior citizens in
Mumbai if you find that your joints are more
painful than usual. Doctors may recommend
changing your medication or trying home
remedies. Skin problems Winter itch is a common
skin problem associated with adults during the
winter. Dry and cold air has a detrimental effect
on the skin. Excessive skin exposure to many
colds can lead to severe speech and other skin
problems in adults in winter.
