Ageing is the loss of physiological functions necessary for survival and fertility over time. It is a unique journey for all individuals and growing older is not necessarily associated with disease.
However, the incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of many diseases, increases with age and the ability to age without the onset of disease is rare. Age-associated diseases are chronic, or acute, and related to long-term degenerative processes. Examples include dementia, osteoporosis, cancer, and coronary heart disease.
Every older adult experiences chronic illness differently. The presence and severity of symptoms, and the older adults ability to cope with their condition differs based on life experience, social and emotional support networks, and the strategies they develop to cope with daily living.
This module describes some of the most common pathological conditions associated with ageing. It is suitable for all nurses and assistants in nurses working with older people.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
