Through life, we have risk factors that increase the chances to have negative outcomes. There tends to accumulate with age. Upon completion of the reading look at yourself. Identify factors in your life that interfere with cognitive function. Could this potentially become a problem later in life
In a period of over the past 50 years, the development of the standards of living with the development increased income, good nutrition, better education, and improved healthcare have led to a significant rise in the life expectancy ages of all the people. Recent research has shown that people in developed countries have a longer life expectancy compared to the people living in developing countries. This is especially characterized by the lifestyle habits developed by the two populations (Heit et al 13). We find out that people in developed countries mainly abstain from smoking, do constant exercise and consume a diet rich in vegetable fruits and grains. This, therefore, has reduced that risk of the population in the developed country to contact diseases like cancer and other cardiovascular diseases. In the article below, I will limit my review on some lifestyle factors that I have inhibited that may end up affecting me in the old age (Baylin et al 21).
Upon analyzing myself, some factors are currently part of my life that may end up affecting my cognitive function in the future. These include a poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of doing the physical exercise and finally poor social engagement. With all these factors in place, there is the risk of dementia and equally the development of other health conditions in my body such as cancer, diabetes and other non-curable diseases (Michels et al 45). Research has shown that smoking causes a total of more than 5 million deaths annually. Research has also shown that smoking causes a heavy risk and may result in premature death even in the old age. Alcohol consumption also is said to be the major cause of death among the middle-aged people since it is associated with deadly chronic diseases that, once they manifest on a body, may end up killing the carrier. The lack of engaging in physical activities may also lead to an increase in weight and usually huge body weight is associated with diseases like diabetes which always end up causing death. Indulging in the poor diet is also another cause of cognitive function such that it probably leads to illnesses that may end up causing death as aging comes up (Heit et al 34).
In conclusion, living a healthy lifestyle while at a young age may determine the number of years that you will live on the planet earth. These may be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle, engaging in a good social behavior may reduce the contact of diseases and if the factor to extend the lifespan.
Essay 2
Each student is to perform a self-evaluation related to attitudes and views towards the older adult. This will include your comfort level discussing these concerns with older and evaluating perception by the student in while growing up and the students view with older adults.
What is my level of comfort when discussing psychological issues with older adults
How much comfortable is discussing emotional, cultural, spiritual and psychological subject
It is usually hard discussing psychological issues with older people. A good example is an emotional aspect. Usually, older people have a belief that the young should not have any emotional disturbance and therefore may end up judging you in a wrong or bad way when opening upon such issues.
Are there certain topics which I am uncomfortable with, for example death, suicide, alcoholism, sexuality, spirituality, and abusive relationships
I am uncomfortable discussing almost all of these topics with an older person. Lets take an example of sexuality, by even thinking to speak about it to even your age is like going for a suicide mission. In other words, all these topics are quite sensitive and would need someone to have enough courage to open up about them to another person. The main reason why it is difficult to share such topics is because of the fear of how someone would tend to judge you rafter opening up to him, in the hope for his assistance.
Does the persons age influence the degree of comfort, for example, I am more comfortable discussing certain topics by someone who is in their 30s than someone who is in their 90s
For sure age is also a factor when I want to share a certain topic with someone this is because, age determines the generation that someone lives in people of the age of more than 50s have a different thought on an issue compared to the people who are in their 30s and below. Lets take an instance of wanting to discuss a matter of sexualizing someone in their 50s and above. Then in the middle of your discussion, you open up to him that you are gay or a lesbian and you happen to be comfortable with it. Probably this person with assume that you have gone nuts and may even advise for your mental evaluation. When the same topic is discussed to someone in their 30s and below, the approach may be different since in this generation, such issues about sexuality are assumed to be normal.
Does a persons gender influence my degree of comfort
Let us take a scenario where I have had unprotected sex and unfortunately contracted the STDs. I will prefer to speak to someone of my gender to advise me on what I should do than talking to someone of the opposite gender. This is because of the fear of what they might think or say about me.
To what group of older adults do I find it easy or difficult to relate to
I usually find it easy to talk to older women than men. This is because older women tend to be understanding and accommodating and usually, they would keep your conversation a secret to themselves.
How do I feel about older adults who are living in non-traditional relationships
Sincerely, I usually feel that this kind of adults may have had a poor relationship past with others and therefore preferred to settle on the non-traditional kind of relationship till now.
When I was growing up
How were older adults in my facility treated
Usually, older people in my family are treated with respect and they are always given a lot of responsibilities to handle in their day to day activities.
What did I observe about the treatment of older adults in society
In the society, I grew in older people where they were always given the priority. A good example was during gatherings and parties. The older people always demand a lot of respect and are treated like kings. They were also feared by youngsters since when it came to decision making, their decision was final.
How were people with mental and emotional disorders viewed
This group of people were always viewed as people possessed with demons or similarly as people who had been given spells through witchcraft, therefore, most people usually avoided them.
What was the language that was used to describe the old aging adults with altered mental functions
I grew up knowing that any old person with a mental dysfunction was a witch or has been possessed by demonic powers.
What words did my family use and what was the issue of measuring of the words used to describe older adults was it positive, negative or mixed
I grew up in a family where both my father and mother were medical officers. Therefore, they had a full understanding of the conditions that these old people were undergoing, therefore, they never insulted them.
What experiences have I had with older adults
From different racial, ethnical, religious, social and economic backgrounds.
I once decided to engage with an older adult intellectual liberal concerning religion. It happened to be that he was Hindu. The man had no respect to any other religion apart from his he even kept saying the all other religions are filled with hypocrites, and further went ahead to even tell me to abscond my religion and changed to his.
Which functional impairments or mental, physical or emotional disorders
They usually come as a result of old age or deteriorating health of an individual.
