What are some common health concerns for senior citizens?

The following information is passed on by a doctor who is still active in the medical field. It is worth referencing, especially if you or your relatives or friends have become elderly.

I received this in a WhatsApp forward and felt it should be widely shared.

The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength.

1. Use a straw, if possible, while drinking water, and keep your head down when swallowing.

Take care and share with other elderly.

A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:
