New Blog Post Promotes the Value of Prevention for Older Adults
Taking steps to stay healthy doesn’t have an age limit. Getting regular physical activity can benefit your health and lower the risk of some cancers, even if you start later in life. The problem is, our nation needs to do better to reinforce this message among older adults. A blog post featuring Dr. Robyn Stone, Senior Vice President of Research at LeadingAge, calls attention to the recent CDC-sponsored supplemental issue of The Gerontologist, which shows that there are many opportunities to promote cancer prevention during older adulthood. Dr. Stone discusses the development of a national prevention initiative for people 65 years and older, and community efforts to connect this population with the resources they need to stay healthy.
