2025年的一项研究发现,在与年龄有关的健康问题导致脊椎损伤后,老年人在日常工作中的恢复速度较慢。 Older adults recover more slowly in daily tasks after spinal injuries due to age-related health issues, a 2025 study found.

2025年对近2 200名欧洲病人进行的一项研究发现,尽管在体力和感觉方面也有类似的进步,但老年人每天的脊髓损伤(如步行、洗澡和喂养)的恢复速度比年轻病人慢。 Older adults recover from spinal cord injuries more slowly in daily functioning—like walking, bathing, and feeding—than younger patients, despite similar gains in strength and sensation, a 2025 study of nearly 2,200 European patients found. 功能恢复得分每十年下降4.3个百分点,70岁以上者下降幅度最大。 Functional recovery scores dropped by 4.3 points per decade of age, with those over 70 showing the greatest decline. 研究人员将这种差距归因于与年龄有关的状况,如肌肉丧失、关节炎、心脏病、糖尿病和认知下降,这阻碍了康复。 Researchers attribute the gap to age-related conditions such as muscle loss, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline, which hinder rehabilitation. 该研究于2025年12月23日在神经学上发表, 呼吁制定针对不同年龄的治疗计划, 以更好地应对老年人特有的健康挑战。 The study, published in Neurology on December 23, 2025, calls for age-specific treatment plans to better address seniors’ unique health challenges.
