People are rare in their 70s, which means that from ancient times to the present, those who can live to be 70 years old are already considered to have a high life.
Uncle Zhang is 83 years old this year, sighing every day, because he feels that he will soon be 84 years old, since ancient times there has been "73, 84 Yan Wang does not want to go by himself", plus these days Uncle Zhang feels obviously feel dizzy, numb hands, numb feet, and thinks that he is about to reach the "big go", so he is very depressed, can't eat well, sleep can't sleep well;
Uncle Li is also 83 years old this year, but he is not worried about the "73, 84" statement at all. He believes that the average life expectancy on the mainland is only 77.93 years old, he has exceeded the average life expectancy, how long he can live is "earned", every day is happy, drinking tea, yo-yo, very happy.
In the mainland, 80 years old is not considered a long life, 10,000 people, how many people can live to 80 years old, how to live healthy and happy? Don't worry, let's see them one by one!
How many out of 10,000 live to be 80 years old?
In 2022, the average life expectancy on the mainland will be 77.93 years, and we are one step closer to 80 years for the whole people. So, in the overall data, how many 80-year-olds are there, and how many out of 10,000 people will live to be over 80 years old?
According to the 2020 Henan Provincial Population Census, there are about 2.39 million elderly people over 80 years old in the permanent population, accounting for about 240 per 10,000 people, accounting for 2.4%; For every 10,000 people, there are about 33 elderly people over 90 years old, accounting for 0.32%.

And the length of life expectancy has a lot to do with the degree of local development, so in economically developed areas, there may be more elderly people over 80 years old.
Life expectancy is getting longer, but is the old age really good?
The "Clinical Multicenter Report on Geriatric Diseases in China" shows that many elderly people may have been suffering from illness in the first eight years of death. These diseases include malignancy, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more.
In recent years, medical technology has indeed advanced a lot, and even for malignant tumors, there are many ways to "break the wrist" with it. But there is one topic that has been debated endlessly. That is, patients with advanced malignant tumors, should they leave with dignity, or should they continue to be rescued?
You can imagine if a seventy-year-old patient, because of cancer, died of pain every day, his physical condition is very poor, and even eating and drinking water is difficult to complete, so he can only lie in bed and wait for his family to take care of him. At this time, the filial sons and daughters still have to make the last attempt.
Is such a long life really what everyone wants?
How should the elderly live healthy and happy lives?
How to live healthily and happily?
When it comes to longevity, age is really just a number. Or that sentence, if a person lives to be 90 years old, but from 70 to 90 years old is lying in bed all day, with the help of instruments to live, this kind of longevity, is this really what everyone wants?
Therefore, while being healthy and happy in old age, is it better to think about longevity? So how to maintain a healthy and happy life, these three suggestions, I hope to help everyone.
The first advice is to go to the hospital for examination in time when symptoms occur, and do not feel sorry for yourself.
83-year-old Uncle Zhang, because of numb hands and feet and dizziness, thought that he was not far from "going", sighed all day, and did not go to the hospital for examination. This kind of evasive behavior lays hidden dangers for physical health.
This may only be a very common problem, such as cervical spondylosis. Although he cannot be completely cured of cervical spondylosis, it can be relieved, and after being cured, it will generally not affect life. If because of a cervical spondylosis, you can't eat well all day, sleep well, your physical condition declines, your immunity decreases, and the disease takes the opportunity to invade, it was not a big deal, and it may also be dragged into a big thing.
Also, dizziness, hand numbness, and foot numbness may also be signs of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, will be due to brain tissue, nerve ischemic injury, the above symptoms, and this is a very dangerous disease, but also the number one killer of the life of the elderly.
Therefore, let's take the example of Uncle Zhang to tell everyone that when people are old, it is inevitable to get sick, don't hold on and don't go to the hospital. Originally, the body of the elderly is relatively fragile, and when the time comes, a small illness will drag on into a major illness, or if it is a serious illness itself, it will be too late to regret.
If there is a problem, we will treat it in time and fill in the gaps in time, so that the body will get better and better, right?
Control your temper
Some elderly people, when they are young, are used to being strong, so in old age, their temper is still fiery, whether it is for their own family or friends of the same age, they always seem very irritable.
From a medical point of view, frequent tantrums can lead to violent fluctuations in blood pressure, which can easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. As people get old, the elasticity of blood vessels decreases, gradually hardens, and blood vessels cannot withstand fluctuations in blood pressure.
In addition, when angry, the body also secretes a substance called "catecholamine", which causes blood sugar to rise, fatty acid breakdown to increase, and toxins in liver cells to increase; Also, when angry, breathing will also be affected, which may lead to insufficient oxygen supply, dizziness, arrhythmia and other symptoms.
And emotionally speaking, in middle age, you are the pillar of the family, and although the family is uncomfortable with a hot temper, they will not say anything. But after old age, children are the pillars of the family, if you can't control your temper, the relationship with your family and children will only become more and more estranged. In the end, you may not see each other several times a year.
And what the elderly are most afraid of is not disease, but loneliness.
Therefore, controlling your temper, communicating calmly with family and friends, and avoiding loneliness will make your body healthier
Enjoy life and reduce stress
After fighting for your children all your life, it's time to enjoy life for yourself.
If conditions and time permit, bring your wife, go out and walk more, see the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, and enjoy the different scenery outside Serbia. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, children's affairs, let them toss by themselves, we don't have to force too much.
Even if we can't go out to travel, we must look at the opening point, after a hundred years, who is a piece of loess, what is the difference?
Final summary
Is 80 years old a long life? Counted. Is 70 years old a long life? It counts, too.
The definition of longevity has little to do with how much longevity, although this sentence sounds contradictory, but it is what it is. Which is longevity if a person lives happily until the age of 80 or a person lies in a hospital bed until the age of 90?
Age is just a number for us, it only represents the time we have been here, and the value and meaning of life are not the same.
