Physical inactivity, poor diet, healthy habitsAbstract
The main objective of this paper is to reveal the factors that trigger non-communicable diseases in older people, since the mortality rate is increasing due to these types of pathologies that are not prevented in time. One of them is poor diet, which causes different negative effects in adults, such as obesity, high cholesterol, low protein levels, and cognitive impairment, among others. These are acquired in old age by not leading a healthy lifestyle and habit. Likewise, cognitive deterioration and loneliness in older adults will be made known, based on various research related to it, as well as possible interventions to improve their cognitive and emotional health, promote physical activity, mindfulness, a healthy diet, and the importance of addressing loneliness, even more so if social interaction acts as a mechanism to solve low mood states; Since, according to studies carried out, loneliness is classified as a very common state in older people residing in low- to middle-income countries, physical activity is presented as another potential strategy to reduce loneliness in this age group, although the relationship varies between countries. Finally, the consequences that physical inactivity brings due to a sedentary lifestyle, physiological and functional changes present in the elderly person, and even the close relationship that exists with age are highlighted.
