April 10, 2024
According, to the National Statistical Office (NSO)’s Elderly in India 2021 report, the elderly population aged 60 years and above will increase up to 41% in the next 10 years. That means in the coming 10 years we have to understand the changes that occur in our parent’s bodies as they age as well as be equipped to take care of them while those changes occur.
Why should you take care of your aging parents?
Well apart from the love and care we hold for our parents and the ethics and morality of it, there are other things that we need to understand. Once we are familiar with what changes happen at the physiological level, our understanding of the reasons for their health status and the consequences of the aging process will be something that we understand much better and thus we will be more equipped to take care.
Ageing is a natural process and everyone undergoes certain physical and physiological changes in their body as the age. A physical change is a change in the growth of the physical body like bones, muscles, hair or any other physical aspect of our body. On the other hand, Physiological change is a change in our body’s ability to function.
