Aging Internet Information Notes
The Aging Internet Information Notes are intended to empower users to explore Internet resources and find information and sites beyond those identified. More than 60 aging topics are currently represented in this series. Notes begin with a brief description of the subject area, followed by two options for downloading: Portable Document Format (PDF) or a Microsoft WORD version. Both versions offer web pages with URLs and hyperlinks organized by public interest subtopic or intended audience.
Aging and Disability Resource Centers
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) Grant Program, a cooperative effort of the Administration on Aging (AoA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), was developed to assist states in their efforts to create a single, coordinated system of information and access for all persons seeking long term support to minimize confusion, enhance individual choice, and support informed decision-making.
Anti-Aging is a Lifestyle: There is no Magic Pill that will Stop the Clock
Let me first start off by saying that the term “anti aging” is a misnomer of sorts. The grim fact is that we will all age and eventually die. Not one of us is immortal. The good news is that we can prolong our lives and avoid disease by making a conscious effort to take care of ourselves. Prevention is key when it comes to anti-aging.
Anti-aging medicine promises miraculous results from HGH injections, but here's how to really regain a youthful body and mind
If you want to drive your doctor nuts, just tell him that you are visiting an anti-aging medical clinic and will be receiving injections of human growth hormone, or HGH. Most doctors will roll their eyes and throw up their hands in disgust at the very idea that their patients would be visiting anti-aging medical clinics. That's because Western medicine views the growing anti-aging medicine industry as quackery. It's ridiculous, they say, for people to believe that nutritional supplements and injections of human growth hormone can reverse their biological age.
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
The BRFSS, the worlds largest telephone survey, tracks health risks in the United States. Information from the survey is used to improve the health of the American people.
Can hair loss be reversed through nutrition or other natural health methods?
Yes, I can recommend a natural approach to slowing hair loss, but I suspect that most readers aren't going to enjoy this answer very much. That's because as much as I disagree with the conclusion many medical researchers reach about the degree of influence genetics holds over chronic disease, the fact is that baldness, especially among males, is a genetically inherited trait. At a certain age, your hair does start to fall out if you've been genetically programmed for hair loss. But that doesn't mean there's nothing that can be done about it. However, before I get to the solutions, I'd like to discuss some of the more revealing aspects of why hair falls out, and why hair turns gray.
Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics (Forum)
This report covers 37 key indicators selected by the Forum to portray aspects of the lives of older Americans and their families. It is divided into five subject areas: population, economics, health status, health risks and behaviors, and health care. It is available online in both html and pdf.
Health Information for Older Adults
Nearly 40% of deaths in America can be attributed to smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet, or alcohol misuse-behaviors practiced by many people every day for much of their lives. Adopting healthy behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being physically active, and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the devastating effects of many of the nation's leading causes of death regardless of one's age.
