The old age or old age and the Ageism elderly, which occurs in some work or social areas. According to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO), it can lead to poorer health, social isolation, premature deaths and can cost economies billions of dollars.
In public discourse and on social media, older people are grouped into a stereotype who insists that because the person is already old, he cannot have fun anymore, he cannot have a partner, he cannot have sex, he cannot work, he cannot move, he cannot dance, or he cannot do the things he likes.
In some contexts, age was used as only criterion in access to medical care, life-saving therapies and in the regulation of confinements, for which the elderly have been affected and cases with serious and far-reaching consequences for health and well-being have occurred.
“As countries work to recover and rebuild from the pandemic, we cannot allow age-based stereotypes, prejudices and discriminatory attitudes to reduce opportunities to ensure the health, well-being and dignity of people everywhere,” said the physician and WHO director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
According to studies still under study, ageism can cost billions of dollars. In Australia, it is estimated that if 5% more people over the age of 54 worked, the country’s economy would generate $ 48 billion annually.
What are the signs of old age or age?
According to the doctor Alberto Cormilloin order to detect the signs of old age or age, the following questions should be asked:
1) Do you have any idea that you still have about 9 thousand days to live?
They are not infinite, but they are many days. Multiply it by hours. Now multiply it by minutes. This way you will be able to see all the things you can do.
2) Are you currently facing challenges of any kind?
Because the challenge is what keeps you going. It is what connects the neurons and it is what helps you make yourself a stronger person every day.
3) Are you learning something new?
It is that when you stop learning you are no longer a film, you are a photo. You are crystallized.
4) How many times do you say “this is not for me” before trying it?
If you say this very often, you are practicing old age with yourself, unless you have a very obvious physical impossibility.
5) How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
The last and most important is that age is a combination of what your document says, the more your attitude, the more your health, the more your looks and the more all the things you say to yourself.
