Risk factors for elderly patients blood fat

By law the elderly of the Republic of Socialist Vietnam issued in 2009, people over the age of 60 is called the elderly. However, the community generally accepts the call on 70 elderly.

The disease: coronary insufficiency, hypertension, osteoarthritis, gut, diabetes, dyslipidemia, .... is the most common diseases in the elderly. In that dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease (CHD) often co-exist with each other out, the disease is difficult to advance the cause of birth and disease.

 

The risk factors leading to dyslipidemia in elderly

1. Diabetes

In elderly people with diabetes usually with type-II, quieter movements, the clinical symptoms are not aggressive, often overlooked. Changes in long-term disease, untreated, or treated but half-hearted nature, uncontrolled blood glucose levels and the appearance of dyslipidemia.

To prevent dyslipidemia in diabetic patients adulthood (the elderly) should periodically check blood lipid annually. Objective control blood lipids in elderly patients is diabetes: LDL-cholesterol index less than 2.6 mmol / L, triglycerides less than 1.7 mmol / L. At the same time maintain the pressure at the maximum level under 130mm Hg, fasting blood sugar level of 3,9- 7.2 mmol / L (70-130 mg / L).

2. addictive habit beer, alcohol, tobacco

Elderly people often have a habit of alcohol, beer, cigarettes, especially his tools. When addicts often use level gradually increasing, children or outsiders do not dare or discourage inefficient.

Ethanol Alcohol addiction is addiction, expression is dependent on the symptoms appear when no alcohol, the alcohol addiction forced to cut these symptoms. Ethanol at high concentrations in the blood often cause tissue damage, ethanol mixed in between two layers of lipid molecules to reduce the order of the acyl chains of phospholipids alter membrane structure thereby increasing infiltration cholesterol on arterial endothelial increased atherosclerosis. Alcohol does not directly cause disease dyslipidemia, they are factors that increase the complications of dyslipidemia. Alcohol-related dyslipidemia because they cause chronic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis, thereby leading to metabolic substances including lipid metabolism disorders.

Smoking causes more harm, nicotine and carbon monoxide entry into the body by smoking causes dyslipidemia: high density lipoprotein (HDL-c) decreased, while fibrinogen (functional mechanisms in winter blood) increases thereby increasing atherosclerotic disease

3. sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity and diet unreasonable

Join physical training (especially the healing exercise, fitness and physical training) routine, which can delay the decline of functions in the body, reducing the risk of onset of the disease chronic in the elderly. Mobility is not only necessary for muscles, bones, joints, but also affects the whole body. The body is regular exercise will work in harmony, the elderly comfort, excitement, love life, lucid minds and labor productivity. Train regular exercise and conditioning work index lower blood cholesterol.

On the diet: Energy demand of the 60-year-old fell by 20% in people over 70 years of age decreased by 30% compared with the 25-year-old. So dietary nutrition for the elderly should pay attention to the composition of substances are added daily to balance reasonable, especially vitamins, and also depend on the needs and preferences of each person anymore.

4. Taking too much, especially the cardiovascular

The elderly often suffer from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease use beta blockers may cause risk of activating latent diabetes and which is dyslipidemia.
