we often hear people talk about the age of sixty, but what exactly does sixty mean? as a doctor, i want to tell you that sixty years is one sixty-year cycle, also known as one jiazi, so sixty means sixty years old.

it is currently believed that people officially enter the old age stage at the age of 60, and before the age of 60, they cannot be called elderly. 60-70 years old is the decade when people officially enter the old age stage, but these ten years are crucial. during these ten years, the risk of elderly people suffering from various diseases will also increase.

as we all know, the most terrifying thing for the elderly is chronic diseases. these chronic diseases are incurable and prone to recurrence, so they cause great trouble to the lives of the elderly and even endanger their lifespans. as a doctor, i would like to remind my elderly friends that 60-70 years old is the critical period of life. pay attention to preventing five diseases and your body will be relaxed.

first, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the number one enemy of the elderly.

data from the "china cardiovascular health and disease report 2023" show that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in my country is in a continuous rising stage. it is estimated that there are 330 million people suffering from cardiovascular disease, including 13 million strokes, 11.39 million coronary heart disease, 8.9 million heart failure, 5 million pulmonary heart disease, 4.87 million atrial fibrillation, 2.5 million rheumatic heart disease, 2 million congenital heart disease, 45.3 million peripheral arterial disease, and 245 million hypertension.
