Elderly health concerns
The percentage of senior citizens in our society has been increasing over the years. It is projected that there will be more older citizens than younger ones in the next decade or so. Frightening statistics have been published by the experts and the not-so-expert. These numbers are a source of concern, and rightly so, because the elderly are faced with a host of different concerns. These can be social, economic, mental and health concerns.
Elderly health concerns certainly need immediate attention. It is not unusual for the elderly to suffer from arthritis and rheumatism. Let alone more serious diseases like cancer of diabetes or problems of the heart. And what about mental health? Alzheimer has victimized people dear to our hearts. Even the lucky ones will have to deal with poor eyesight and bad hearing.
