Critical Issues

ABSTRACTThe potential role of physical activity in the primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary treatment of disease is examined with particular reference to the health care needs of the elderly. Areas requiring further research are stressed. On present evidence, it would appear likely that enhanced physical activity could make a useful contribution to the containment of health care expenditures; however, it still has to be established how far the gains of physical condition and resultant improvements of health status that are seen in younger individuals could be realized by the various categories of geriatric patient.

Violent Assault

This chapter explores the limits of humanitarian care and capacity and what it means to live and practice up against these limits. This condition is broadly described as a circumstance of “undercare,” where people are cared for, but the care they receive is systemically inadequate. Humanitarian limits include the difficulty of reaching populations across the imposition and change of borders, the inability to access people targeted for violent assault, the incapacity of the humanitarian apparatus to respond to health-care needs of the elderly, and the circumstances of dying in old age. The humanitarian inability to provide adequate care is received by Palestinians as part of a constellation of threats to the population. They see undercare as part of a concerted effort to undermine their collective existence.

The Cost

Perceptions of 269 community-based elderly persons and eighty health-care professionals were compared for opinions related to the health-care needs of the elderly, and major barriers faced by the elderly to the utilization of health services. The data indicate a high degree of incongruence between the perceptions of the elderly and those of the professionals. Health professionals were not good predictors of the health status of the elderly, and they did not accurately predict the barriers faced by the elderly seeking health care. Congruence of responses was found only related to the cost of health services. Reasons for these differences were explored, and recommendations for future program planning were made.
