Pneumonia in the elderly can stem from various causes, including bacterial and viral infections. Age-related decline in immune function makes them more susceptible, especially if they have chronic illnesses like diabetes or heart disease. Poor lung function and swallowing difficulties can also increase the risk, as aspiration of food or fluids can lead to infection. Understanding these factors is crucial for prevention and early intervention. By staying informed and proactive, you can help protect our loved ones from this serious condition. #Pneumonia #ElderlyCare #HealthAwareness #RespiratoryHealth
