Walking Weekly Can Boost Heart Health In Older People, Study Finds

A Harvard University study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that walking 4,000 steps a day just once or twice a week can significantly reduce the risk of early death and heart disease in older women. The study tracked 13,547 women aged 62 and older over more than 10 years, revealing a 26% lower risk of death and a 27% lower risk of heart disease for those who met the step count. The findings emphasize the importance of total walking volume rather than frequency, although the study's observational nature limits definitive conclusions.

Rate Of Alzheimer's Cases In The US Has Doubled Since 2000

The rate of Alzheimer's disease deaths in the U.S. has doubled since 2000, rising from 17.6 to 34 per 100,000 people, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. This increase may be attributed to an aging population and improved diagnosis. In 2020, many death certificates listed both Covid-19 and Alzheimer's as causes, particularly among those aged 85 and older. The pandemic highlighted vulnerabilities in nursing homes, where residents with Alzheimer's were significantly affected. Additionally, underdiagnosis of dementia, especially in Black and Hispanic older adults, poses challenges for treatment and care planning.
