Now, 1/3 of chiro pts. Aged 50+
1/2 of those are 65+
Soon… 1/2 of chiro practice will be patients over 50

The Geriatric PopulationThe Geriatric Population
In last 100 years total population increased by 5X, geriatric population increased by 15X.
Fastest growing populations subset = 85 years old and older!
Now 4 million; by 2050-19 mil! First time in history; Aged are
fastest growing group!

Avg. lifespan increased from 47.3 in 1900 to 76.1 in 1997.
Centenarians now around 100,000, in 2050 will = over 1 million.
Now, 6,000 people/day turn 65 In 2010, 10,000 people/day will turn
65 (Alliance for Aging Research, 2002)

By 2020 there will be 50 million older Americans
By 2030 there will be 70 million!!
The US has a huge shortage of health professionals trained in geriatric care; Chiropractors can help fill that need!

Living Situations < 5% of people >65yrs old live in
nursing homes. Of those in nursing homes, vast
majority are dementia patients, mostly of the Alzheimer’s type.
Most elders live with family, spouses, or on their own.

Functional AbilityFunctional Ability 85% 65-69 y.o. no problem with self

– 10% in this group are still extremely active and functional.

Effect of Aging PopulationEffect of Aging Population
Dychwald: “We are aging, and this may be the most unique social phenomenon of the 20th century.”
The most significant shift in health care = HEALTH PROMOTION.
(That’s where we come in!)

Normal Neurologic ChangesNormal Neurologic Changes Slowing down =nerve cells &
brain weight. Sleep disorders - stage 3 and 4
patterns. Perceptual changes: taste, vision,
hearing, touch, etc.

Normal Aging of MuscleNormal Aging of Muscle total muscle mass. Atrophy in all areas - lower ext. more than
upper ext. or back. in isometric mm. strength.
– Acceleration may occur b/c of disuse.(Patients have control over their
muscle mass. We should empower them to build muscle, and prevent disability!)

Normal Aging of BoneNormal Aging of Bone
Loss of trabecular bone - greater loss than in cortical bone.
Loss in bone mass: 1% / year Pre-menopause, then 2-3 %/yr. Post-m.p.
By 80yrs. Women may have lost 43% of trabecular bone, men 27%.
(Patients can increase their bone density! Teach them how !!)

Vascular compliance. Organ perfusion due to inc.
peripheral resistance and cardiac output.

these aging changes.)

DiscDisc
Nucleus decreased proteoglycan content, decreased shock absorption.– Disc cell; dramatic alteration in
nutrient content.– ECM requires nutrients through end
plates.– Motion increases dispersion.– End plate function = calcification and
decreased nutrient transport.
![Page 39: NAME THAT TUNE](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681453d550346895db20513/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
LigamentLigament Tensile properties of ligaments
become reduced. Mechanical stresses can cause
favorable or adverse integrity of lgts. Ligaments and tendons: Increase in
collagen (cross linking), increase in fibril size and aggregation, decrease in water, elastin, and proteoglycan content.
![Page 40: NAME THAT TUNE](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681453d550346895db20513/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Ligaments and tendons increase stiffness and decrease max. length at which rupture occurs.
Loss of passive ROM slowly progressive
Postural changes cause joint deformity, less efficient, greater effort and more fatigue.

CartilageCartilage Cartilage has decreased water
content. Balance of synthesis and degradation
– Reduced formation or increased catabolism cause pathologic changes.
– Increased fibrillation and decrease capacity to absorb shock.

Promoting Spinal WellnessPromoting Spinal Wellness Assessment Strategies
– Establish base-line, screen for risk factors or problems, develop care goals, monitor course.
– ADL assessment (Functional status)
– Physical exam must seek to establish base-line sense of patient strength, ROM.
