老年医学是一门新兴的科学,有着广阔的研究领域和无限的发展前途。随着国民经济的发展,卫生条件的改善,医疗技术的进步,人类寿命逐渐延长,老年人口明显增加。研究人类机体老因、老化、生理、病理等基础理论,研究老年病流行病学、诊断、治疗、预防、保健、康复和护理等的老年医学,已越来越受到重视。我国在解放前人口平均寿命仅有36岁左右,解放后由于我国社会制度的优越,人民生活水平的提高以及医疗卫生条件的改善,人民的寿命也在延长,根据近年的统计,一般城市人口平均寿命男性为66.95岁,女性69.55岁。个别地区平均寿命超过70岁,已跨入世界高寿国家行列。我国预测19年后如果全国总人口达到12亿,则老年人口将在1亿左右。随着老龄化社会的到来,老年医学的研究更显得重要,因而,发展我国老年医学是人民的愿望,是社会的需要,也是客观的需要。
Geriatrics is an emerging science with a broad research field and unlimited development prospects. With the development of the national economy, the improvement of health conditions, and the advancement of medical technology, the human life span has gradually lengthened, and the elderly population has increased significantly. Research on the basic theories of the human body’s old age, aging, physiology, and pathology, and the study of geriatrics in epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, health care, rehabilitation, and nursing, have received increasing attention. The average life expectancy of our country before liberation is only about 36 years old. After liberation, due to the superiority of our social system, the improvement of people’s living standards and the improvement of medical and health conditions, the life expectancy of the people is also prolonged. According to recent statistics, the average urban population is average. Life expectancy is 66.95 for males and 69.55 for females. The average life expectancy in individual areas exceeds 70 years old and has entered the ranks of high-life countries in the world. Our country predicts that if the total population of the country reaches 1.2 billion in 19 years, the elderly population will be around 100 million. With the advent of an aging society, the study of geriatric medicine is even more important. Therefore, the development of geriatric medicine in China is the aspiration of the people. It is a social need and an objective need.
