Issues for Older People in Developing Countries

Avoid heat. I will stay in the morning till the noon of the afternoon - the hottest time of the day. If you go out, wear your hat and keep it as cool as possible. It is very important to use at least 15 times more sunscreen

Early in the morning to the evening, avoid intense activities and limit housework and horticultural activities

When you are indoors, let's stay in the coolest place in the house. Close curtains and blinds in a room blocking sunlight. Do not forget that light generates heat. Leave the window closed, not the outside, and turn them on as the interior gets hot. If safe, you can open the window when the weather is cool. The fan evaporates the sweat but does not cool the air itself

Sprinkle your face with cold water or put a damp cloth or scarf behind your neck to help you settle down

Even if you do not thirsty, please drink more water. Restrict drinking of caffeine (such as coffee and cola), avoid drinking as it causes dehydration symptoms

We eat regular meals, but cold foods, especially salads and fruits contain a lot of water, so try it

Extremely high temperatures and high humidity will cause you to dehydrate and cause your body to overheat. Please be aware of some signs: especially arms, legs and stomach muscles, mild confusion, weakness or sleep disturbance. If you have these, please rest in the shade and drink a sufficient amount of water. Get medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

In case of living alone, please ask relatives and friends for a visit or call and consider checking that there is no problem in the hot summer days.

The mental health problem of elderly people is less frequent than other age groups. However, the importance of understanding the mental health problems of elderly people can not be ignored. The most common mental health problems that may occur in later years include cognitive disorders, dementia, learning disabilities, depression, and anxiety (Stuart-Hamilton 2012). Among these problems, depression is the most frequent occurrence, affecting one elderly in seven people (Age Scotland 2012). Studies have also shown that more dementia patients are estimated to reach nearly 1 million by 2021 (Alzheimer's Association 2007). The causes of these problems vary, but they can have a significant impact on the mental health and daily lives of elderly people. Memory loss, change, and difficult behavior will also affect family members and other people in the community (Woods 2011)
