Let’s take a look at the most common elderly health issues Hong Kong elderlies faces, and learn how to protect ourselves against them.

1.Depression: Backing out from their familiar working position, facing every big and small life change, losing clear direction, and dependence might cause enormous mental stress to the elderly.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Can affect vision, cause coma, headache, dizziness, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
Osteoporosis: Calcium loss with age makes bone tissue fragile. In addition to increasing the risk of bone fractures, osteoporosis can also cause bone pain, hunchback and other problems.
