Abstract

Anemia is an important health problem in all age groups as well as in the elderly. Of the Turkish population, people over 65 years and over account for 7.2%. It is predicted that by 2025 one out of every ten people will be “aged” with the improvement of life standards and health care services. Studies carried out on the elderly population have shown anemia cases ranging between 3-61%. The symptoms of anemia are not different in the elderly from any other age groups but while the young and children can tolerate much better, tolerability is decreased in the elderly because of poor compensation. Being the symptom of many diseases, anemia also brings about some undesirable consequences. There are also studies demonstrating the connection between the existence of anemia in the elderly and increased rate of mortality, deteriorated cardiovascular disease progression, declined cognitive and physical functions, and increased risk of falling down and fractures

Abstract

Anemi tüm yaş gruplarında olduğu gibi yaşlılarda da önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Ülkemiz nüfusunun %7.2 si 65 yaş ve üzerindedir. Yaşam standartları ve sağlık hizmetlerinin gelişmesi ile birlikte yaşlı nüfus artmaktadır ve 2025 yılında her 10 kişiden birinin „yaşlı‟ olacağı öngörülmektedir. Yaşlı nüfus üzerinde yapılan çalışmalarda %3-61 arasında değişen oranlarda anemi bildirilmiştir.Yaşlılarda anemi semptomları diğer yaş gruplarından farklı değildir ancak gençler ve çocuklar semptomları daha iyi tolere ederken yaşlılarda yetersiz kompansasyon nedeni ile tolerans azalmıştır. Anemi pek çok hastalık durumunun belirtisi olmanın yanında bazı istenmeyen sonuçları da beraberinde getirir. Yaşlılarda anemi varlığının artmış mortalite, kardiyovasküler hastalıkların seyrinde kötüleşme, kognitif ve fiziksel fonksiyonlarda bozulma, artmış düşme ve kırık riski ile de ilişkili olduğuna dair çalışmalar vardır
