Argentina has been this week at the head of the Working Group of the United Nations to begin preparing a Convention on the Rights of the Elderly, one of the outstanding achievements that are more sensitive to international human rights system in its remarkable evolution recent decades.

The Working Group was created for three months by the UN General Assembly, open to all members and with the intention of enhancing the promotion and protection of human rights of this social group of impressive growth in recent decades and clearly need of new legal instruments, including a specific Convention.

The G77 + China, the main group of developing countries, which presides over Argentina in 2011, was one of the most important drivers of this Working Group, but our country also has antecedents in this effort.

During the Third Session of the UN, in 1948, adopted a landmark Declaration on the Rights of the Elderly, an initiative of Eva Peron.

The need for a legally binding instrument to protect and promote the rights of these people, to establish mechanisms and international agencies providing them, has a quantitative dimension is striking and calls for reflection.

In 1948, when it adopted the International Convention on Human Rights, which gave much later to other specific such as children, or Discrimination against Women, the world population was one third of the current. In addition, since then, the average life expectancy increased in 20 years, from 46 in 1967 to 67 in 2010.

Nobody can tell yaw that aging is just a concern of a few developed countries and Latin America is an example. In 2007, more than 9% of Latin Americans were over 60 years. In addition, by 2050 the proportion of elderly people in our countries nearly quadrupled if the current trend is maintained.

Repeated media image of needs associated almost exclusively with children and their mothers around the world cannot hide similar situations and worse for the elderly, the most vulnerable people for whom poverty can be understood because of the denial of their rights, but also as their own cause.

Situations such as the lack of lower revenues from the mere fact of being older, access to basic health services and housing is universal, and discrimination against women in inheritance from their partners and / or children will also print a woman’s face situations of exclusion that may be as a result of the denial of rights but at the same time as their own cause.

The Working Group now chaired Argentina seeks to close a gap between those rights and the reality that should be fully guaranteed, so articulate at a convention in the rules that follow and in public policy principles that inspire basic human rights as non-discrimination of our seniors.

Until now, the situation of older adults is considered only indirectly, through the Migrant Workers Convention and the more recent Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 2008, in which civil society, through organizations activists and volunteers, confirmed its historic role as a key player in developing a rights agenda and pursue it with the Member States of the UN, a process that surely now be republished.

Some UN committees, such as the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, developed specific recommendations for elders, but it is recognized fragmentation and lack of focus on the situation of this group age.

Argentina, chairing the Working Group began its road to a longed Convention inspired by the idea that human rights have been and should continue to be seen as tools for social change.

After analyzing 34,670 women between 39 and 73 years who had no cardiovascular disease or cancer at baseline in 1997, the team of Dr. Susanna Larsson of the Karolin’s Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, found that participants who consumed large amounts of red meat (at least 102 grams per day) showed a 42% higher chance of suffering a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), compared with women who ate less meat (25 grams per day).

Researchers reported the findings of experience in a recent issue of the journal Stroke. They claimed that within 10 years of the work, 1,680 (4% of participants) suffered a stroke.

This is the first study in years to establish a connection, applicable to the female, between red meat consumption and the possibility of having a stroke.

“The most common was ischemic stroke, which occurs as a result of blockage of an artery that is responsible for delivering blood to the brain. Such occurred in 78% of cases. The rest belong to other accidents unspecified causes or cerebral hemorrhage, experts presented their conclusions.

On the other hand added that “no relationship was detected between the possibility of stroke and the consumption of fresh meat (the analysis is performed on processed red meat) or farm products.”

As a possible explanation, the team led by Dr. Larsson said: “Several mechanisms explain the association between processed meat and risk of stroke. However, we believe that the first point is the connection between the consumption of that food type and hypertension, major risk factors when we think of strokes. “

Moreover, the experts added: “We must not fail to consider the iron accelerates the production of free radicals that damage tissue. Finally, the processed red meat is rich in sodium, a mineral that increases blood pressure. “

A team of scientists from University College London, the National Institute for Health and Medical Research in France, and the University of Montpellier, in France analyzed the relationship between the form of food and the chance of depression.

More precisely, the association between a healthy diet and balanced and to prevent the development of this highly complex disorder that affects not only the social life of sufferers, but also “installed” in both the psyche and the body of those affected.

“Most previous work on the topic focused on the action to have certain nutrients on depression, while we take and look at food as a whole,” the investigators said the 3,486 people involved, whose average age was 57 years.

That group was divided over the five-year long investigation into two smaller biases. On the one hand, the people who ate healthy, fruits, vegetables, vegetables and fish, and those who preferred other processed foods, sugars, fried foods and dairy fat.

“We developed a questionnaire designed to assess potential alterations in mood, and established that people who chose to processed foods were 58% more likely to develop depression, compared with those following a healthy diet,” they added scientists.

“We are extremely pleased that we found a very consistent pattern of relationship between the way of feeding and the possibility of developing depression. However, further studies will be necessary to confirm definitively,” they stated.

“To which we must be very aware of is the so-called ‘masked depression’ that occurs when the mood alteration not expressed through physical symptoms such as sadness, but from physiological changes, completed the specialist.

On the other hand it is noteworthy that depression is a state of sadness or distress passenger, but a deeper problem that usually do not conform to a single cause, but many. In fact, it is assumed that the development of this disorder is due to a combination of psychological, genetic and biochemical.

Your symptoms may also vary because contrary to what many people think being depressed is not about always and inevitably to be drawn all day in bed.

Those with the disorder through various stages or moments in which usually takes possession of them has marked irritability, a deep interest in activities that used to enjoy and a great pessimism.
