In the current list of acceptable causes of death in the medical certificate of cause of death, some causes are either linked to old age or could be used for all people over the age of 80 years. Notable ones include 'frailty of old age', 'debility of old age' and 'senility'. It is best to avoid these terms as they provide an erroneous impression that these conditions occurred because a person was old; we recommend that the list of acceptable causes of death is revised by engaging all stakeholders.
在当前的死亡医学证明书可接受死因清单中，有些死因要么与老年相关，要么可用于所有80岁以上的人群。值得注意的包括“老年体弱”“老年虚弱”和“衰老”。最好避免使用这些术语，因为它们会给人一种错误的印象，即这些情况是因为一个人年老而发生的；我们建议通过让所有利益相关者参与来修订可接受死因清单。
