Gerontologist's Day was celebrated in Nizhnekamsk Central Republican Multifunctional Hospital
The Day of the Gerontologist and the International Day of Older Persons are celebrated on 1 October. It is no coincidence that these two holidays are celebrated on the same day. Gerontology is the science that studies the biological, psychological, and social factors of aging, as well as ways to deal with aging.
To date, 4 gerontologists work in the the Nizhnekamsk Central Republican Multifunctional Hospital. First of all, the work of a gerontologistis aimed at preventing the patient from developing one of the most common diseases – "senile asthenia". Not all older persons get to the gerontologist. The patient must have at least three diseases. Specialists also take into account the condition of patients. Older persons experiencing constant severe fatigue, weakness, lethargy and other similar conditions are under special control.
Gerontologist Reseda Nurtdinova notes that there is no way to stop the aging process, but it is possible to extend the period of independent decent existence.
"Our patients are over the age of 65. If the patient, despite his advanced age and fragile health, still retains independence, a geriatric consultation can determine his future fate. We are often asked to give advice on how to preserve youth and vigor? The answer is simple. The most important medicine is movement. If a person is on the move, he enhances the joints. Frequent walks are not only fresh air, but also live communication, development, which helps to keep interest in life. Therefore, the most important and free cure for any ailments is movement!".
We congratulate our esteemed physicians on their professional holiday and wish them success and prosperity. And we wish all patients of silver age to keep their spirits up, enjoy every day and see the doctor on rare occasions. Take care of yourself, be happy and loved!
