The consequences of an old man's fall are often fatal. Why?

For us young people, we may get up when we fall. This is no big deal. We often wrestle when playing, but the elderly are not like this, because once the elderly fall, the consequences are often the most fatal. Academician Yuan Longping, who just died, was hospitalized urgently because of a fall. After all, at the age of 9 1, once a person is old, he is a old bones, which will be scattered when he moves, let alone fall.

One: osteoporosis in the elderly. Why do we often talk about osteoporosis? Because it's so common. Once people get old, their arms hurt and their legs hurt. All this is because when they get old, the various functions of the human body are in a state of degradation, and the structure between bones will become very fragile. If they drop a little, they may break. To put it bluntly, their ability to resist external forces is relatively poor, otherwise they would not need people to support them.

Two: easy to cerebral hemorrhage. When we fall, the head is the most vulnerable, and the intracranial arteries of the elderly often have some sclerosis, which is the normal state of life, so the fragility of blood vessels will also increase. Once you fall on your head, it is easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage. I think everyone should know how serious the consequences are. Every year, countless old people fall in the bathroom or fall outside, which is very dangerous.

Three: Long-term bed rest increases lung infection. Old people need to stay in bed once they have any physical problems. Is it a good thing to lie in bed every day? Actually, it is not. On the contrary, there are many disadvantages to our health. There is a good saying that life lies in exercise, and staying in bed for a long time will increase the chance of lung infection, which is why many elderly people stay in bed after falling and breaking their bones, and the final result is not ideal.

Therefore, if there is an old man at home, you should pay a little attention to everything. Never let the old man fall, because the old man's body can't stand falling.
