No major illness means healthy elderly

  The new health standards for the elderly consider that the age-related changes in the important organs of the elderly do not lead to functional abnormalities, the related risk factors are controlled within the standard range appropriate to their age, and they have a certain degree of resistance to disease is a healthy elderly.  When people get old, they will have natural changes as they get older. As long as these age-related changes do not change our functions, we are still healthy elderly people, such as those with hyperplasia in the lumbar spine, cervical spine and knee joints, as long as they do not have cervical spondylosis, back and leg pain, or knee pain, there is no problem.  Older people will always have some minor physical discomfort. Even if older people have diseases, or multiple chronic diseases coexist, age-related problems/syndromes, and functional disabilities, they can be considered healthy older people as long as they can maintain basic daily living and meet the relevant physical indicators.  However, regardless of whether you are now healthy or not, and regardless of whether you already have some diseases, disease related high risk factors should still be controlled to meet the standard range of blood pressure: blood pressure is normal for <140/90mm/Hg, of which senior citizens should be no less than 120/60mm/Hg; hypertensive patients have a lowering target value of <150/90mm/Hg, of which senior citizens should be no less than Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) range for the elderly: 5.0%-6.5% for those with normal blood glucose; 6.0%-7.0% for those with diabetes (without chronic complications of diabetes); lipid range for the elderly: cholesterol (TC) 3.1-6.2 mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) 1.8-3.9 mmol /L, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) >1.0 mmol/L, triacylglycerol (TG) 0.8-2.3 mmol/L.
