Message From RadhikaAs the end of the year
approaches, I would like to takethe time to recognize twosignificant health events inOctober. First, it is Breast CancerAwareness Month. There is amisconception that breast cancercan only affect women, which isuntrue. Many people are aware ofbreast cancer but many forget totake the necessary steps to planahead and get checked regularly todetect the disease during the earlystages. I encourage everyone, nomatter what age you are, to planahead and make sure you visityour physician. Men, as well aswomen, should also take theinitiative to get checked.
The third Friday in Octobereach year is NationalMammography Day. On this day,and throughout the month,women are encouraged to make amammography appointment. Thisyear, National MammographyDay will be celebrated on Oct. 16.In honor of Breast CancerAwareness Month, on this day, we
are asking everyone to wear anyshade of pink to recognize thosewho have been diagnosed withbreast cancer, the survivors, andthe ongoing efforts to bringawareness to this disease.
Secondly, October is the monthof the annual Alzheimer’s walk.Every year Belmont Villagecommunities across the countrytake part in the Walk to EndAlzheimer’s. The number ofindividuals diagnosed withAlzheimer’s disease is growingeach year and continues to be the6th leading cause of death in theUnited States.
I invite you all to join ourBelmont Village of Sunnyvaleteam on Saturday, Oct. 10. Formore information, please contactKathy Nguyen, Memory ProgramsCoordinator.

Fitness CornerPreparing for a Fall: Role of
Muscular Strength &Endurance
Osteoporosis is often considereda silent disease until after a
fracture that might be the resultof a fall. Exercise helps promote
muscular strength and mass,along with effectively increasingbone mass and bone strength.
But to increase the strength andmass of bones, the bones must
be put under stress or used.Thus, ACSM reported that
muscular strengthening exercisesmay serve as “valuable measures
to prevent, slow – or evenreverse – the loss of bone mass
in people with osteoporosisRecommendations for older,
very deconditioned, or frailindividuals starting a resistancetraining program:
• Begin with lower resistancebetween 40%-50% of a 1-repetition max
• Very light - light intensity.• Repetitions: higher and in
the range of 10-20repetitions/set.
As a result of muscularstrengthening exercises, bonedensity remains high and lessprobability of fractures. So it’simportant to continueperforming strengtheningexercises and beginimplementing power workout toprevent falls.

Cancer Awareness& Prevention
Did you know...Over 30 % of cancer could be
prevented by avoiding tobacco,alcohol, maintaining a healthydiet and physical activity.
October is breast cancer month,but cancer is a disease of aging. Aswe age the risk of getting certaintypes of cancer such as breast,prostate, pancreatic, lung, bladderand stomach cancer increases.Due to the increase in lifeexpectancy, cancer in older adultsis becoming increasinglycommon. According to theAmerican Cancer Society 77percent of all cancers arediagnosed in persons age 55 andolder. Some of the challenges inolder adults for treatment ofcancer are as follows.
• Less tolerance for certaincancer treatments includingcapacity to respond.
• Other medical diagnosis inaddition to the cancer.
• Cognition• Functionality such as the
ability to perform basicactivities of daily living.
• Nutrition.• Social environment (access
to transportation, family,caregivers, home safetyfinances etc.
Older adults with cancer havespecial needs and require expertcare. Geriatric Oncologists providecomprehensive cancer care topatients over 70. To determine themost appropriate treatment planfor patients, ComprehensiveGeriatric Assessment (CGA) hasbeen developed in order to ensurea detailed view of an older adultsoverall condition, focusing onfunctional status and quality oflife. Using the CGA allowsphysicians to create an individualtreatment plan tailoring care toeach patient. In addition (CGA)can help your physicianemphasize that advanced agealone should not prevent the useof effective cancer treatment thatmay improve quality of life.
