Pneumonia in the elderly
Compared with young people, the morbidity and mortality rates of pneumonia in the elderly have increased significantly. There are many reasons for this. Objectively, due to the aging of the body, changes in the anatomy and function of the respiratory system lead to reduced systemic and local respiratory defense and immune functions, weakened functional reserves of important organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, or multiple chronic serious diseases and malnutrition. Subjectively, doctors or patients themselves lack understanding of the atypical clinical manifestations of pneumonia in the elderly, resulting in delayed diagnosis and inappropriate treatment measures.
