Le vieillissement est lâensemble des processus physiologiques et psychologiques qui modifient la structure et les fonctions de lâorganisme Ă partir de lâĂąge mĂ»r. Il rĂ©sulte des effets combinĂ©s de facteurs gĂ©nĂ©tiques et environnementaux auxquels est soumis lâorganisme tout au long de sa vie. Il sâagit dâun processus lent et progressif qui est la consĂ©quence de lâaction du temps sur les fonctions de lâorganisme. La sĂ©nescence est le processus de vieillissement biologique, la suite des changements irrĂ©versibles dans un organisme qui conduisent Ă la mort. Ce processus physiologique dĂ©bute aprĂšs la phase de maturitĂ© et se traduit par la dĂ©gradation progressive et inĂ©luctable des fonctions vitales : reproduction, motricitĂ©, systĂšme immunitaire, etc. La sĂ©nilitĂ© est la dĂ©tĂ©rioration pathologique (liĂ©e Ă une maladie) des facultĂ©s physiques et mentales dâun individu ĂągĂ©. Il existe trois modalitĂ©s diffĂ©rentes de vieillissement : le vieillissement rĂ©ussi, avec une absence ou une atteinte minime des fonctions physiologiques et une absence de pathologies ; le vieillissement habituel, avec des atteintes considĂ©rĂ©es comme physiologiques, liĂ©es Ă lâĂąge, de certaines fonctions, mais sans pathologies invalidantes ; le vieillissement pathologique liĂ© Ă des maladies sĂ©vĂšres Ă©volutives ou compliquĂ©es et responsable le plus souvent dâune dĂ©pendance importante. Ă ces trois notions, il est important dâajouter la notion de fragilitĂ© qui correspond Ă un Ă©tat dâĂ©quilibre prĂ©caire avec lâimpossibilitĂ© de rĂ©pondre de façon adaptĂ©e Ă un stress quâil soit mĂ©dical, psychologique ou social. AprĂšs 65 ans, 10 Ă 20% des personnes peuvent ĂȘtre considĂ©rĂ©es comme fragiles et jusquâĂ 50% aprĂšs 85 ans. Il sâagit de personnes Ă haut risque dâhospitalisation, dâinstitutionnalisation et de dĂ©cĂšs. Les psychologues dĂ©crivent 5 grands types de personnalitĂ© liĂ©s au vieillissement, plus ou moins prĂ©sents chez chacun : le mature est actif, tolĂ©rant et il sâadapte parfaitement Ă son Ă©volution ; le pantouflard est passif, indulgent envers lui-mĂȘme et il utilise son Ăąge pour valoriser son inactivitĂ© ; le blindĂ© est mentalement rigide, il a peur de la dĂ©chĂ©ance et sâenferme dans ses souvenirs de jeunesse ; le mĂ©content est amer, intolĂ©rant et pessimiste, anxieux face Ă la mort ; il en veut au monde entier de son Ă©tat et de ses Ă©checs ; le dĂ©prĂ©ciĂ© est dĂ©pressif, insatisfait de sa vie, sans estime de soi et envahi de regrets sur le passĂ© ; il envisage la mort comme une dĂ©livrance ou une finalitĂ©. La solitude a un effet important sur la santĂ©. Si nous comparons des personnes ĂągĂ©es qui conservent un vaste rĂ©seau de relations sociales Ă dâautres qui sont isolĂ©es, ces derniĂšres auraient un risque supĂ©rieur de mort prĂ©maturĂ©e. Parler et Ă©changer avec les autres est essentiel au bien-ĂȘtre. Stimuler la mĂ©moire dâune personne ĂągĂ©e lui permettra de conserver son autonomie et de retarder la dĂ©pendance. Pour rester en forme, le cerveau doit travailler de maniĂšre complĂšte. Plusieurs activitĂ©s peuvent donc permettre Ă la personne dĂ©pendante de garder une bonne mĂ©moire le plus longtemps possible : tenir un agenda, rĂ©diger un journal, jouer Ă des jeux ou encore pratiquer des activitĂ©s de crĂ©ation. Pour stimuler lâactivitĂ© sociale dâune personne ĂągĂ©e, faire des rencontres est le meilleur moyen de rester en forme : rencontrer des personnes, poursuivre les activitĂ©s quâon aime, se servir du tĂ©lĂ©phone et mĂȘme dâinternet si possible. Il y a des personnes ĂągĂ©es qui ne parlent Ă personne pendant des semaines. Pour dâautres, le contact se limite aux relations avec les caissiĂšres des supermarchĂ©s. Avec lâĂąge, certains de nos aĂźnĂ©s sont murĂ©s dans le silence. Pas par choix. Mais parce que les liens familiaux se sont distendus ou nâexistent plus. Ils se retrouvent alors seuls, sans Ă©change, sans partage et sans affection. Un des grands dĂ©fis Ă relever pour lâavenir est la lutte contre la solitude des personnes ĂągĂ©es. Il faut savoir que la solitude est dĂ©sormais considĂ©rĂ©e comme un facteur de risque de la maladie dâAlzheimer. Lutter contre la solitude, câest prĂ©venir lâexclusion, la pauvretĂ© et la perte dâautonomie. Quel est le secret pour prĂ©server son corps malgrĂ© les annĂ©es ? Un peu dâactivitĂ© physique et des repas Ă©quilibrĂ©s ! Pour lutter contre lâapparition des rides ou la chute des cheveux et conserver ses capacitĂ©s physiques et cognitives, mieux vaut surveiller son assiette. Inutile dâaller chercher des produits miracles pour rester jeune : il faut commencer par manger mieux! Car en fonction des aliments quâon choisit, on prĂ©serve son capital santĂ© et on garde la forme durant de longues annĂ©es. Les problĂšmes alimentaires spĂ©cifiques au vieillissement apparaissent Ă des Ăąges variables et sont beaucoup plus marquĂ©s aprĂšs 85 ans. Une bonne nutrition a un rĂŽle de prĂ©vention de mieux en mieux connu sur les pathologies liĂ©es Ă lâĂąge. Un bon rĂ©gime pour un senior comprend beaucoup de fruits et de lĂ©gumes, du pain, du riz, des pĂątes et des fibres. Il ne faut pas oublier le poisson, surtout le thon, le saumon et les sardines, et limiter les viandes rouges, en prĂ©fĂ©rant le poulet, la dinde ou le lapin. Il faut aussi rĂ©duire le sel et le sucre, et tous les aliments riches en graisses comme les frites, les fritures ou les gĂąteaux. Lâeau est trĂšs importante, mais on peut aussi boire du thĂ©, des jus de fruits sans sucre ou du lait Ă©crĂ©mĂ© ou demi â Ă©crĂ©mĂ©. Il faut aussi de la vitamine D pour garder les os en bonne santĂ©. On peut la trouver dans le poisson, la margarine et les cĂ©rĂ©ales du petit dĂ©jeuner. Le corps produit tout seul la vitamine D quand il est exposĂ© au soleil, il est donc conseillĂ© de profiter du soleil de temps en temps avec de la protection pour aider le corps Ă produire cette vitamine. Ătape naturelle de la vie dâune femme, la mĂ©nopause mĂ©rite quelques attentions sur le plan nutritionnel Ă cause de la modification du statut hormonal. Beaucoup de femmes prennent du poids Ă la cinquantaine. Souvent tout simplement parce que leur mode de vie change, avec moins de dĂ©penses physiques et plus de temps pour apprĂ©cier les plaisirs de la table ! Mais aussi parce que les transformations hormonales de la mĂ©nopause vont favoriser la mise en rĂ©serve de graisses. Le premier antidote contre ce risque de surpoids est une activitĂ© physique suffisante et, en complĂ©ment, une alimentation allĂ©gĂ©e grĂące Ă lâĂ©limination des calories «inutiles». Ă Ă©viter ou Ă consommer avec beaucoup de modĂ©ration : les boissons sucrĂ©es comme les sodas, les bonbons, les biscuits salĂ©s ou sucrĂ©s, lâalcool sous toutes ses formes, les glaces et les pĂątisseries, les plats riches en graisses, les frites et les fritures, les sauces classiques, la mayonnaise, les sauces barbecue et tous les laitages au lait entier. Les modifications hormonales et la diminution de lâactivitĂ© physique ont Ă©galement pour consĂ©quence une âfonteâ progressive de la masse musculaire. Pour lutter contre ce phĂ©nomĂšne, il y a une seule solution : bouger !
