Elderly Problems Abstract

I decided to do my research paper on problems with getting older. For my first research paper I am analyzing the causes of the problems associated with getting older . My grandpa has found out that he has diabetes. As he is getting older he got more and more problems. One day he had to go to the hospital because of his violent coughing and bad headaches. The nurses at the hospital checked him and found at that he had a major foot infection. The nurses cut out his foot infection and he was forced to stay in elderly homes. He always had trouble walking and he was never the same. Now, grandpa has to be helped to do many things and he loses much of the independence of being able to do everyday things he use to do. Problems with the elderly are everywhere and they are unavoidable. These problems are important because they could be prevented and everybody grows old sooner or later. Some cause of these problems are poor health and not enough exercise. Many people don't understand that they need exercise as they get older. Many people don't get exercise everyday and they don't try to eat healthier. Many side effects are associated with problems getting older. Many of these effects are serious and can be prevented if the victims take action.
