Chandigarh 21 August ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : To mark World Senior Citizens Day, an informative health talk on ortho and neurology-related health concerns affecting senior citizens to mark World Senior Citizens Day was held at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali on Friday. The members from senior citizens from the community and various Senior Citizen Associations participated in the talk which focused on the common health concerns associated with ageing, including joint pain, arthritis, mobility issues and neurological conditions, while highlighting the importance of preventive healthcare and timely medical consultation.
Speaking during the talk, Dr. Gaurav Saini, Associate Director – Ortho & Joint Replacement said, “Arthritis is a common condition among senior citizens and can significantly affect mobility and quality of life. Symptoms may include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, tenderness and reduced flexibility. Early evaluation and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and support mobility. Regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and seeking timely medical advice can help senior citizens stay active and independent.”
Dr. Sawan Kumar Verma, Associate Director – Neurology said, “Ageing can bring changes in the nervous system, making older adults more susceptible to neurological concerns such as stroke, memory problems, seizures, difficulty in walking and speech-related changes. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, staying physically active and seeking medical attention when new neurological symptoms appear can help in timely diagnosis and management.”
