The world is experiencing an extraordinary revolution, driven by the relentless march of time itself. The aging convulsion is transforming the healthcare environment, notably in the discipline of elderly health. The United Nations Population Fund’s India Ageing Report 2023 anticipates that the number of people aged 60 or above will reach 3.47 million by 2050. This projection leads to the need for increased development of creative techniques and comprehensive approaches to meet the growing requirements of the elderly.
Dementia, a progressive decline in cognitive abilities, influences thinking, memory and the ability to perform regular activities. While dementia has no cure, a healthy, well-balanced diet plays a vital role in managing it. This goes beyond physical health; a balanced diet impacts cognitive function and by adopting a holistic care approach that addresses cognitive and emotional needs, caregivers can significantly improve the quality of life in elders with dementia.
It is not uncommon for people to witness a decline in their health as they age. While physical health becomes a prime topic of discussion on aging, mental health, significantly impacting overall well-being, can’t be ignored. As elders navigate various life changes, including retirement, loss of loved ones, and physical health challenges, their mental health can be significantly affected and we need to be prepared for that.
In most cultures, caregiving is traditionally seen as a female’s role. We have expected, perceived & encouraged women to be the primary nurturers of an ecosystem.
