194 people participated in the research conducted by Israeli experts. Their ages ranged from 73 to 84. All entered rehab after a stroke or bone fracture.
It turned out that patients who felt younger than they really were one month after discharge acted better than others. Experts explain this by the fact that these people are more optimistic in assessing their chances of recovery.
It turned out that subjective age (the age at which a person feels himself) during rehabilitation most strongly affects the results of recovery. And even stronger than many chronic diseases and the chronological age of patients.
News cannot be equated with a doctor’s prescription. Consult an expert before making a decision.
