Sanjay Gupta: 肺炎是一种严重的疾病,尤其对老年人来说。每年有近一百万老年人因肺炎住院,其中三分之一会在一年内死亡。但是,有很多方法可以降低患肺炎的风险,包括接种肺炎疫苗、流感疫苗和RSV疫苗(如果适用)。保持健康的生活方式,例如健康饮食、规律运动和充足睡眠,也可以增强免疫力,降低患病风险。此外,避免与病人接触,保持良好的卫生习惯,例如勤洗手和戴口罩,也可以有效预防肺炎。 肺炎是肺部感染,而支气管炎是肺部气道的炎症。大多数肺炎是由细菌感染引起的,可以使用抗生素治疗,但病毒性肺炎则不能。步行性肺炎是一种较轻的肺炎,通常不需要抗生素治疗。吸烟和酗酒会削弱免疫系统,增加患肺炎的风险。 Mark: 我想知道如何避免患上肺炎。 Casey: 我想了解夜猫子的睡眠模式及其对健康的影响,以及人们对夜猫子的误解。
