Posadas (By Sebastian Korol).
Talk to your doctor José Leandro Mierez (79), director of gerontology at the Ministry of Health, leaving the feeling of being in a person who surely will be remembered for his Mission countless contributions to public health.
"I am the oldest of all, the 'gerontodinosaurio'. Like sometimes I'm too honest, upset many people, God will say until ", presents a laugh.
With almost 80 years and five decades of uninterrupted work in the health system, points out that "I'm fighting because the old are treated with dignity and not be lied. I like what I do, I still feel strongly, I like talking to old people and young people, with them I learn a lot of things. "
"When I first holds a public office, dad invited me to walk and I said, 'Your father and your mother left a good name, not stain. " And with that marked me for life, how they should behave in the community and in public administration, "he says. Leandro
highlights the importance of working in the rehabilitation of what is lost due to normal aging. He points out that "if all the money that should go to the old and was raised for the old came to the old, old would first and 'pee-Cuckoo'."
For you what is the key to reaching to old in good shape?
One older in accordance with how he lived. If in life you're a tidy person, who has evaluated both the psychic and physical, you will be healthy aging. Therefore, there is research on aging in accordance with the professions that one develops.
If you think you're going from boy to get older and you will be losing certain things, you have to understand that you have to learn to adapt mentally, physically, socially and economically. And always, even living with your generation, working with younger people and, if possible, who know more than you. You you you can dump your experience: over here Go and there does not. But work with young people is most rewarding. Unfortunately there are many young people who do not accept the advice I can dar el anciano.
Entonce
s hay que cuidarse y tener una vida activa: caminar, salir, dialogar, escuchar, contar, y tender la mano siempre. Entonces acuérdense del buen samaritano, la inmensa felicidad que tuvo al servir a otras personas. Yo soy de 'ayúdate, que Dios te ayudará'. Los milagros, para mí -lo digo siempre- no existen. Lo que vos pedís es que te den fuerza para seguir luchando, pero el esfuerzo lo tenés que hacer vos.
'Si no trabajás, no tenés derecho a comer', decía San Pablo. Entonces, hay que generar fuentes de trabajo, hay que usar la mano de obra de las personas de edad, hay que crear no solamente clubes, que me parecen extraordinary, but also develop small spaces where activities according to the trades that they have had.
And education is also part of the key ...?
it is for non-formal education, because in the province 25 percent of people over 60 can not read or write. And that must be put in motion, and teach them to read and write and the four basic math operations: multiply, divide and add. Then people will have independence.
There are many programs, many good things being done, but can do much more, and that it should be noted. I fight because the old are treated with dignity and not be lied. At present, Pami has greatly improved and is doing a good track, because there were people who were friends with the strange and did not reach the funds which had to come. At this point, it must be admitted, it is working fine.
What are the best ways to care for our grandparents?
To understand aging, we must clarify that there is biological age and chronological age. You you can have 70 years chronologically, but biologically, in accordance with how you lived and how you went along to care for your life, you can have more wear. Senescence is normal aging, the other is senility.
I think first we need to strengthen education, explaining to people that the aging process are losing a lot of things. What interests me is the rehabilitation of what is lost due to normal aging.
sometimes very difficult because there are higher structures that are afraid of aging, then do not try. Sometimes they treat me as an old, thank God, because I feel proud, because not everyone becomes old.
Moreover, the old, if possible, when it comes time to die is to be in his bed surrounded by his family.
When an older person comes the time to go, let him go, unless you have a real possibility of living. Because if not, put him in intensive care is more inhuman than any, you put tubes everywhere, you're naked at a temperature ... not the best 25 000 things to do not to die, we must not make euthanasia, but the least to die with dignity and in recent times will not suffer.
The family has to know this, because sometimes there are families with a totally selfish feeling like you do everything, and sometimes when an older person goes, we should be grateful if you lived to the fullest. Because one thing to be old, and another to be old . Years old is when you were changing. Elder is a person who apart from the fortune he could have done, noble titles you may have, the positions he held, the prestige he won, he always defended the Justice, truth, helping others, and made things love. That is the old man, who meets those conditions. I wish everyone could get to be old and not old, because it is different.
How do you see the current status of older adults in missions and the country?
If all the money that should go to the old and was raised for the old came to the old, old would first and 'Pee-cuckoo. " What happens is that a pool of money that is traditionally all governments have done-take to make a lot of things. I think it's good, because the one above decide. But you have to accept the consequences of what you are doing and not to distort the truth.
They are doing many things for the elderly but could do so much more. An example is here (Department of Gerontology, Ministry of Health) however, we are all different days Caps, collect diagnostic information, give lectures, train people. There was a time that brought the geriatric unit nurses across the province and we had five days living with the elderly, to teach what they had to do. And
gathered during many years of outpatient diagnostic, diagnostics of the discharges, and diagnoses of those who died. And we took the leading causes of each.
The trend is that more and more people are going to be old because it has reduced infant mortality has decreased overall mortality, there are countless places to care and miles of roads to improve accessibility.
Then, a third of the budget is spent on care for older people because they have more consultations, boarding stay longer, spend between 15 and 17 different medications in the year, so you have to prop it. have to make special formulary for the most relevant diseases of the grandparents.
You said that there were improvements in recent years, what aspects are advanced?
now gives more attention to the elderly and improved the drug. But I think the training of health workers is still insufficient, few hours receiving training in geriatrics and gerontology, have to have more for you when it detects an elderly notify us problems, so goes our team and offers specialized care.
What are the characteristics of the grandparents of Missions?
One of the features here, thank God, is that still running the patriarchal family, as older people do not want to leave his family and the family does not want old stalling.
So, then I think we have to create systems of home visits, to go to give appropriate assistance, and when the disease exceeds that attention internally, so that in the shortest possible time, with the best quality, they leave. And then continue making the checks. That can do.
And they have the characteristics of all Argentines have many needs. In our country, pensions are a punishment, not a prize. If you were earning thousands, at once pass to earn 200 or 300, what and how you maintain? Missions
is advanced in terms of legislation. We have the Law on Aging, which was a job that former deputy did Garallo, which sets up in each municipality of a council of older adults. Of the 75 municipalities that have missions, or even ten, I can be wrong, have established that advice.
now is regulating the establishment of nursing homes, establishments engaged in the care of the elderly. Because you're going to some of them are worse than concentration camps. Who empowered? How do I enable? We have a responsibility now to assess, not only from the standpoint of building complex, but also staff, function, and so on. We have to put the saw on the yes or no, but it is the municipality that will give the final clearance. And it must be the person responsible for the municipality to sign.
What is the expectation of life in missions and how we are compared to other provinces or other countries in the region?
woman has a survival rate of over seven to ten years to the male. It is the weaker sex: is the most living mammal on earth. The woman is more or less in 74/75 and a little more and the man is always between 5 and 7 years younger.
Notice how the population grew more than 60 years in missions, according to the provincial Institute of Statistics and Censuses. The first census, other than they did the Jesuits, gained in 1895. In that census, only 2.5 of the population was aged 60. Then it grew. And we're now more or less in 10 percent of the population.
The trend is ever going to be a greater number of older people. Therefore, society must realize that the care and service delivery to the elderly is the responsibility of all: the old man himself, his family, the environment and the community to have healthy cities. Where do you aim? A prevention through health education, which is the promotion, and protection: immunization, care of accidents in the family and in public.
So it is necessary to provide that many people get older, the demand will be much larger in the medication, clothing, food, housing.
We work in all municipalities to see what conditions are older than 60 years: 80 percent are independent, driven by their own. 15 percent already have difficulties to move, and 5 percent are hospitalized or bedridden. So I am interested in working in this age, in recovering what is lost.
What is sick and our elderly die?
Most vascular problems are, then there are the mental disorders, sclerosis who also have vascular origins, hence there are a number of techniques to take care. There is also
infections, the adults tolerate evil because their defenses are down.
And there are the problems of osteoporosis, the bones and joints. So, the key to prevention are periodic inspections.
