Elder people, life style intervention, health problems, psychological issuesAbstract
Aims: By addressing these research issues and examining the findings of the pertinent studies, this systematic review aims to provide a thorough understanding of the changes in physical and mental health that are related with aging as well as the significant factors that contribute to these changes. This evaluation will also look into potential new treatments and technological advancements that could improve elderly people's health. The results of this work will offer crucial new perspectives on aging research and therapeutic practice in the future.
Methodology: "Aging", "physical health", "mental health", "wellbeing", "lifestyle interventions", "age-related health problems", "literature evaluation", "future perspectives", "key factors", "potential new interventions", and "health outcomes" were used to search Medline, pubmed, and Google Scholar. Successful search. Data analysis began with selecting relevant details. Second, the data was compiled into a table, followed by study conclusions. After reviewing each article, the overarching idea that best proves the study issue's relevance was chosen.
Results: The literature display includes several physiological and physical effects of aging and research and reference information. Aging affects skin, hair, nails, vision, digestion, bone density, muscle flexibility, and heart disease risk. Aging causes anxiety, memory loss, and executive dysfunction
Scientific Novelty: Potentially effective innovative measures to enhance senior citizens' health a study of the key elements influencing how physical and mental health vary as people age
Conclusion: The systematic review gave a thorough grasp of the alterations in physical and mental health brought on by aging, as well as the main causes of these alterations. The review also uncovered potential novel therapeutic approaches and scientific developments that might enhance the health of senior citizens. This work emphasizes the necessity of ongoing study and therapeutic application to improve older individuals' quality of life.
