ABSTRACT
Introduction
The acceleration of the aging process causes the number of elderly patients with chronic diseases to increase every year, causing hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarction, and chronic respiratory diseases. This situation considerably threatens the health of the elderly, affecting their quality of life.
Objective
Improve the health awareness of the elderly as well as modify unhealthy lifestyles.
Methods
Changes in blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids, uric acid, blood oxygen saturation, body mass index (BMI) and other indicators in elderly patients with chronic diseases before and after aerobic exercise were compared and analyzed. Symptoms and common self-management efficacy scores in elderly patients with chronic diseases were compared and analyzed before and after aerobic exercise.
Results
The detection rate of liver steatosis, overweight and obesity significantly decreased after aerobic exercise. Symptom scores and common self-management efficacy were significantly higher than those collected before the intervention (p<0.05).
Conclusion
The actual measured and predicted theoretical value of vital capacity, and other vital indicators were significantly improved. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigating treatment outcomes.
