Abstract

The COVID-19 is impacting the health of the population, including older persons. Available evidence shows that older people are highly vulnerable and more likely to have adverse health outcomes. In Bangladesh, the older population is rapidly increasing, living with various disadvantaged socio-economic conditions, including inadequate access and healthcare services. These disparities are likely to increase during the COVID-19, resulting in high morbidity and mortality among them. Thus, we have examined the health vulnerabilities of older persons due to the COVID-19 pandemic using content analysis. We have analyzed 102 content collected from various online and printed articles published in newspapers, journals, and other relevant sources. The study has found increased health risks, deteriorated mental health, and poor health system functioning during the pandemic and its impact on older persons in Bangladesh. Strengthening health systems through an integrated model with capacity development of existing health care providers to deal with elderly health problems, including mental health and psychosocial wellbeing; promoting preventive measures, facilitating access to healthcare is required. Bangladesh can learn the Chinese experience to adopt innovative, specialized, and advanced systems to efficiently fight against the COVID-19.

2019冠状病毒病对孟加拉国老年人健康的影响。
COVID-19正在影响包括老年人在内的人口健康。现有证据表明,老年人非常脆弱,更有可能产生不良健康后果。在孟加拉国,老年人口正在迅速增加,生活在各种不利的社会经济条件下,包括获得和保健服务不足。在2019冠状病毒病期间,这些差距可能会扩大,导致他们的高发病率和死亡率。因此,我们使用内容分析检查了因COVID-19大流行而导致的老年人健康脆弱性。我们分析了从报纸、期刊和其他相关来源上发表的各种在线和印刷文章中收集的102个内容。该研究发现,在大流行期间,健康风险增加,精神健康恶化,卫生系统功能不佳,以及对孟加拉国老年人的影响。通过综合模式加强卫生系统,发展现有卫生保健提供者处理老年人卫生问题的能力,包括精神卫生和社会心理健康;必须促进预防措施,便利获得保健服务。孟方可以借鉴中国经验,采用创新、专业化、先进的制度,有效应对新冠肺炎疫情。
