Travelling seniors - cardiovascular and other risks

Original language description

Travelling seniors, cardiovascular and other risks. The number of seniors undertaking longer and more demanding journeys at an advanced age has been on the increase. Chronic illnesses together with the physical and mental demands of travelling make seniors vulnerable. Geriatricians and general practitioners should be able to assess the risks that could lead to the deterioration of the condition during travel and to co-operate with the travellers to minimise such risks. The article analyses the cardiovascular risks associated with long flights and stays in a hot climate: complications of ischaemic heart disease, especially certain correlates of myocardial infarction during travel for which the identified risk factors included short-term planning of thejourney, unusual destinations, a lower level of education, life in partnership, travel by car in comparison with other means of transport, accommodation in tents, trailers or caravans as compared to accommodation in a hotel.
