銀髮族骨質疏鬆症運動處方之探討

Discussion of the movement prescription of Osteoporosis of Elders

台灣早自1993 年即已成為高齡化社會的一員，且老化人口逐年在增加當中，2003 年老年人口數已達總人口的9.24%，顯示十年間台灣的人口老化非常明顯而且快速。老年人因生理機能的衰退，進而影響日常生活、心理及社會互動。雖然，老化會有個別差異，但是要如何達到成功老化的層次，還是要藉由適度的運動才能完成。老年人參與運動必須要有正確的認知、基本的技能及持續性，再搭配正確的運動處方，才能避免不必要的傷害發生。本文希望藉由人體老化的原因、運動與骨質疏鬆症的關係與運動處方的建立，使國人在年輕時即能了解運動養身的重要性，並能影響現階段的老年人養成運動的習慣，達到更優質的老年生活。
