This study focuses on the challenges posed by the increasing prevalence of senility or age-related cognitive decline among the elderly population in Bangladesh. The objectives of the study include identifying age-related physiological changes in various systems such as cardiovascular, central nervous, and musculoskeletal systems among the elderly. The research also aims to recognize common health problems associated with aging and to explore strategies for preventing or reducing risk factors contributing to functional decline, impaired quality of life, and disability in older adults. The research questions guiding this study inquire about the physiological changes occurring in various systems among the elderly, the roles and functions of nurses in geriatric care, and the need for further research to improve the care provided to the elderly population. This study contributes to the understanding of the unique challenges faced by elderly individuals dealing with senility in the Bangladeshi context and seeks to inform nursing strategies, interventions, and frameworks that can enhance the quality of life and healthcare outcomes for this population. The analysis delved into demographic features, health conditions, caregiving, and relationships of the elderly in the study. These insights shed light on aging, health challenges, and social dynamics. The age distribution skewed towards 60-70, especially 60-65, indicating a focus on younger elderly. A logistic regression model predicts dementia well. Graphs highlight factors limiting elderly activities, family relationship trends, prevalent health conditions, and demographic summaries. Key findings include the need for broader age inclusion, economic support, nurturing relationships, better healthcare, addressing lifestyle issues, and focusing on mental health. These findings hold implications for policies, healthcare planning, and elderly well-being. Recommendations involve diversified age representation, economic empowerment, support for relationships, enhanced healthcare, awareness campaigns, and ongoing research.
