Abstract

This article discusses the nutritional requirements, reviews senior or geriatric dog nutritional evaluation, and then addresses some common nutrition-related problems in older dogs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Physiologic change associated with aging, essential nutrients and their diseases in senior or geriatric dog subjects. According to a 2002 market research, 30% to 40% of dogs raisedin the United States are 7 years of age. In Europe the number of dogs considered to be "senior or geriatric" (>7 years of age) increased by approximately 50% between 1983 and 1995. A 2012 e-mail survey of 50,347 respondents revealed that 33.2% of dogs were 6 to 10 years of age and 14.7% were older than 11 years in the United States. The average life expectancy of dogs raised in the home is affected by health care, aging and nutrition.And, the aging process is influenced by breed size, genetics, nutrition, environment, and other factors. Although many pets remain active and youthful well into their teens, most dogs start to slow down and may show signs of aging beginning as early as 5 or 6 years of age. Improvements in the control of various diseases and in the nutrition of dogs have resulted in a gradual increase in the average lifespan of companion dogs. Nutritional goals for aging dogs include supporting health and vitality, preventing the onset or slowing the progression of age-related health disorders, and enhancing the dog's quality of life and, if possible, life expectancy. Aging brings with its physiologicchanges. Some changes are obvious, such as whitening of hair, a general decline in body and coat condition, and failing senses including sight and hearing. Other changes are less obvious, however, and these include alterations in the physiology of the digestive tract, immune system, kidneys, and other organs. Nutritional requirements can change with age. In addition, many diseases common in older dogs may be nutrient-sensitive, meaning that diet can play an important role in the management of the condition.

이 논문은 노령견이 필요한 영양을 다루며, 노령견이 필요로 하는 영양평가를 검토하고, 노령화와 관련하여 흔히 발생할 수 있는 영양의 문제점들을 등을 제시하고자 한다. 즉, 이연구의 목표는 노령견의 노령화와 관련된 생리적인 변화, 필수영양소 및 그와 관련된 질병을 탐구하는데 있다. 2002년의 조사에 의하면, 미국에서 기르는 반려견의 30%-40%는 나이가 7세이상이라고 한다. 유렵의 경우 1983년과 1995년을 비교했을 때 나이가 7세이상의 반려견의 수는 약 50% 늘었다고 한다. 2012에 미국에서 실시한 이메일 조사에 의하면, 50,347명의 응답자 중에서 33.2%가 6살-10살의 노령견을 기르고 있으며, 11살이상의 노령견을 기르는 응답자는 14.7%라고 한다. 가정에서 기르는 반려견의 평균수명은 건강관리, 노령화 및 영양에 영향을 받는다. 그리고 견종, 유전, 영양, 환경 등의 요소에 따라서 노령화의 정도가 다르다. 10살이 넘은 많은 반려견들이 활력이 넘치고 건강하다고 할지라도, 대부분의 반려견들은 5세-6세가 되면, 노령화와 관련된 징조를 보이기 시작한다. 여러가지 질병을 치유할 수 있는 의학의 발달과 영양의 발달로 인하여, 반려견의 평균수명은 점점 증가하고 있다. '노령견을 위한 영양의 목표'는 노령견이 건강하고 활력 넘치게 하며, 노령과 관련된 건강상의 문제가 늦게 시작되고, 노령화를 지연시키며, 삶의 질을 향상시키며, 기대수명을 늘리는데 있다. 노령화는 생리적인 변화를 가져온다. 우리가 육안으로 명백하게 느낄 수 있는 변화들은 털의 색깔이 하얗게 변하는 것, 몸의 기력이 떨어는 것, 시각이나 청각 등의 감각기관에 문제가 오는 것 등이 있으며, 표면적으로 느끼기 어려운 변화들은 소화관, 면역시스템, 신장 등 장기와 관련된 생리적인 변화들이다. 반려견이 필요로 하는 영양은 나이에 따라서 다르다. 또한 노령화가 진행됨에 따라서 발생할 수 있는 영양과 관련된 많은 질병들이 있으며, 이러한 질병에는 영양이 매우 중요하다.
