The Elderly at present and Diabetes Mellitus as a worrying disease

Abstract

The aging of the population is a universal phenomenon, framed at the crossroads of the drop in the birth rate and the increase in life expectancy due to medical advances, especially in countries with a good standard of living. In 2000, the years of the world population rose to an average of 65 years.

Exercise is a basic body need. The human body is made to be used, otherwise it deteriorates; if the exercise is renounced, the organism works below its physical possibilities, therefore it is abandoned from life.

Diabetes Mellitus is a heterogeneous syndrome caused by genetic-environmental interaction, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, a consequence of a deficit in the secretion or action of insulin, which causes acute and chronic complications.
