老化过程中健康悖论的相关研究综述

A Literature Review of the Health Paradox in Ageing

个体老化的过程伴随着巨大的异质性,其不仅存在于老年群体内部,更存在于从青年到老年的整个生理和心理演化过程。这一过程绝非青年时期特征的一种自然延续,而是伴随更多的独特性,从而形成了一种由增龄所带来的健康悖论现象。对老化过程中健康悖论内涵和机制的解读,提示我们不能一成不变地去看待增龄风险而忽视这一过程中的异质性。只有深刻理解老年期健康的发展特点及规律,才能更好地促进健康老龄化进程。

The process of individual ageing is accompanied by great heterogeneity,which exists not only in the elderly group,but also in the whole physiological and psychological evolution from youth to old age.This process,far from being a natural continuation of characteristics in youth,is accompanied by more uniqueness,creating a“health paradox”resulted from ageing.The interpretation of connotations and mechanisms of the health paradox in the ageing process suggests that we should not view risks of ageing in a static way and ignore the heterogeneity in the process.Only by understanding characteristics and laws of health development in old age can we better promote the process of healthy ageing.
