Patient's question:
Grandpa is already 73 years old this year, and his health is not as good as before. Many elderly people of the same age as Grandpa have cerebrovascular diseases. I am quite concerned about Grandpa's health and want to prevent the recurrence of this disease. I would like to know if the incidence of cerebrovascular disease is high?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly is relatively high, which is directly related to the causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, personal physical condition, survival dietary habits, and abnormal blood pressure or blood lipid levels. It is recommended to follow a low-salt, low-fat diet and engage in appropriate physical activity. If there are abnormal blood pressure levels, it is necessary to control blood pressure promptly. If there are high-risk factors such as diabetes, it is essential to manage blood sugar levels effectively. Active prevention and treatment of diseases should be carried out based on different conditions and personal physical constitutions.
