How is ageism unlike other forms of discrimination? And how does it impact health?
Read the October issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:
Older adults “who think arthritis, difficulty sleeping and heart disease are all normal aging stuff are less likely to see a physician. They’re less likely to get blood pressure screenings, to get flu shots, to wear their seatbelts, or to engage in any exercise.”
This month’s CARE Connections also includes a profile of CARE Affiliate Maichou Lor, PhD, RN; information about free training opportunities for direct care staff and health educators; and news and events related to older adult health and well-being.
