How can we reduce health disparities among older people?
That’s the focus of Julie Ober Allen’s research in the UW–Madison Department of Kinesiology. Read more in the November issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:
“Individuals who report that they experience more ageism are more likely to have cognitive health and mental health problems, and greater declines in those areas over time,” says Allen.
This month’s CARE Connections also includes a profile of CARE Affiliate Jingxi Li, MSN, 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.
