Winter activity program to prevent long term care for elderly in snowy regions

在这项研究中，我们评估了老年人在冬季的身体和精神状况，之前在秋季观察了他们，确定了问题并制定了可能的长期护理预防计划。对老年人进行评估的参数包括平均活动量、年龄、认知功能、护理预防评估、白天平均室温和BMI。BMI和身体活动之间存在显着相关性，以每天走的步数来衡量。在冬季，左腿的力量明显下降。秋季的平均步数显著高于冬季。这意味着需要一个计划来维持在多雪的冬季地区的活动量，以保持腿部功能和认知功能的维持。

In this study we evaluated physical and mental conditions of the elderly in winter, after previously looking at them in autumn, identifying issues and devising a possible long term care prevent program. Parameters evaluated for the elderly included were the average amount of activity, age, cognitive function, care prevention evaluation, average room temperature during the day, and BMI. There was a significant correlation between BMI and physical activity as measured by the number of steps taken per day. Power in the left leg decreased significantly during winter. The average number of steps in autumn was significantly higher than winter. There are implications that a program is needed to maintain the amount of activity in snowy winter regions, to retain leg function and the maintenance of cognitive function.
