john24+FollowThe Real Cancer Risk No One Talks AboutEveryone thinks smoking or sun exposure is the top cancer risk, but it’s actually just getting older! With Canada’s population aging fast, cancer care needs a major upgrade—especially for seniors. Right now, only a few clinics offer specialized care for older adults, even though it saves money and improves lives. The big issue? Not enough geriatricians, outdated systems, and a dash of ageism. Time to rethink how we support older adults with cancer! #CancerAwareness #AgingPopulation #HealthcareInnovation #Health #BodyHealth220Share
Charles Christensen+FollowRA Treatments: Big Wins & New HurdlesRA care has totally leveled up in the last 20 years—think better disease control, fewer steroids, and more people hitting remission. But here’s the twist: patients are older, have more health issues, and not everyone’s seeing those big functional gains, especially the elderly. Methotrexate use is down, and newer drugs are sticking around longer, but some folks still aren’t hitting their treatment goals. RA’s getting more manageable, but also way more complicated! #RheumatoidArthritis #HealthTrends #ChronicIllness #MedicalResearch #AgingPopulation #Health210Share

With more older adults now and options outside of hospitals shrinking, experts say this problem is just going to get worse. For someone living with dementia, long ER waits can cause even more confusion and distress. We’ve got to do better! HealthCare #DementiaAwareness #AgingPopulation #Health161Share
rachel60+FollowWhy Dementia Care Needs an OverhaulDementia care is seriously lagging worldwide, with a Yale study showing that 1 in 5 patients receive no care. Striking gaps exist across countries, hitting hardest in places like China where 99% lack formal support. Even the U.S. struggles, relying on a patchwork of Medicare and Medicaid, pushing many families to the brink. Countries like Denmark lead with consistent federal care, shining a light on what’s possible. It's clear: we need major policy changes and innovative solutions to bridge these alarming care gaps. #DementiaCare #HealthcareReform #AgingPopulation #YaleResearch #Health93Share
