Palliative CareAbstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), palliative care strives to improve the quality of life of persons and their families who face physical, psychological, social, or spiritual challenges associated with life-threatening illness. Worldwide, it is estimated that about 40 million people need palliative care, but only 14% receive it. The WHO also indicates that 78% of people who need palliative care live in developing countries, which reveals a great need for palliative care not only for terminally-ill people but also for their families.
The need for palliative care worldwide goes hand in hand with the increase in aging, which progressively and almost simultaneously converges with manifestations of organic exhaustion and processes of health and disease framed in the individual’s environment and biography. However, it should not be overlooked that people of any age and at any stage of serious illness are candidates for palliative care and may require different approaches to care depending on the individuals’ needs. Genetics-based knowledge has allowed the hypothesis of life, but the individual’s environment is influenced from before birth. Nutritional history, tobacco use, exposure to environmental toxicants, and life cycle have been defined as causes of epigenetic alterations, which may contribute to diseases amenable to palliative care in advanced stages.
