The most common dangerous diseases for people over 50 were named
Previously asymptomatic diseases begin to manifest themselves sharply after 50 years of age.
The most common disease at this age is osteoporosis.
Olga Ulankina, a candidate of medical sciences and a medical expert at the Hemotest laboratory, told Lenta.ru about this.
She explained that after 50 years of age, asymptomatic diseases begin to appear in the body.
Thus, osteoporosis is detected in 34 percent of women and 27 percent of men over 50 years of age.
The body stops producing the hormones that are responsible for bone strength in full.
Therefore, even an accidental fall can result in fractures.
The doctor emphasized that at this age, the body's organs and systems begin to function worse.
Atherosclerosis, heart disease and vascular disease also appear under the influence of genetic factors.
