摘要: 我国面临严峻的人口老龄化现实,并日趋严重。老年人深受一系列慢性疾病的困扰,不仅严重影响老年人身体健康和生活质量,而且给家庭和社会带来沉重的经济负担。通过对老年人体质评估,可对影响健康的高危因素及时识别。虽然我国在老年人体质评估方面做了一些探索,但仍然缺乏针对老年人生理特点的体质评估指标,且尚未建立适合我国老年人健康和体质的评判标准。因此,本文就对老年人生理特点及体质的评估方法作一综述,旨在为科学地评估老年人体质的内在实质,预测和预防慢病及指导我国老龄化工作提供重要依据。Abstract: The problems related to an aging population have been exacerbated and are becoming more serious in China.
