What Every Senior in Edmonton, AB, Needs to Know About COPD and Age<\/h2>\n\n\n

COPD in seniors is a serious diagnosis. <\/strong>Did you know that after heart disease, cancer and accidents, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the leading cause of death? In this day and age, more than 500,000 Canadians have been diagnosed with COPD. It has been estimated that the same number of Canadian citizens have the disease, but they are still not aware of it.<\/p>\n

What is COPD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

COPD is a group of lung diseases, with the most common are emphysema and chronic bronchitis.\u00a0 It progresses with age, and symptoms can include constant coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath, to coughing up mucus and tightness in the chest.<\/p>\n

COPD is most common in adults who are 65 or older. Luckily, with some healthy lifestyle changes, seniors can minimize the risk of COPD.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Lung Association<\/a> has declared that smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Naturally, secondhand smoke is also a risk factor. In addition, it has also been suggested that there is a connection between air pollution and COPD.<\/p>\n

How to Keep Seniors Safe from COPD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To stay healthy and reduce the risk of this disease, seniors who smoke should talk to their health provider and take steps to quit. Also, older adults who do not smoke should do their best to avoid contact with secondhand smoke.<\/p>\n

When air pollution warnings are high, seniors should stay home and avoid any outdoor activities if possible. To minimize the risk of COPD, older adults should also avoid airborne irritants in the home.<\/p>\n

Seniors and Overall Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With a healthy diet and regular physical activity, seniors can boost their health, enhance their overall well-being and improve their lung function. Every senior needs to know that their respiratory system is affected by age and learn how to reduce their risk of related diseases.<\/p>\n

To help seniors avoid further breathing complications, doctors may recommend getting vaccinations for both influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia.<\/p>\n
