Exercise & Vitamin DTaking vitamin D supplements and engagingin regular exercise or physical therapy mayhelp prevent falls among community-dwellingolder people, who are most at risk, accordingto recommendations from the U.S. PreventiveServices Task Force (USPSTF).

Nine trials of vitamin D supplementationfound an approximate 17 percent reduction inrisk reduction for falls during 6 to 36 monthsof follow-up; several of these studies targetedvitamin D-deficient older adults and the effectwas greater among this group, the task forcewrote online in the Annals of InternalMedicine.

In its review of 50 studies, the task forcefound convincing evidence that exercise orphysical therapy also reduced the risk of fallsby approximately 13 percent.

Is It Dementia Or Just Forgetfulness?Forgetting your keys, deadlines, and whether or not youturned the stove off doesn’t necessarily mean you areexperiencing cognitive decline or dementia — but peoplemight still accuse you of that if you are an older adult. Newresearch suggests that could be a mistake that can cause severeemotional and mental health problems.

According to a study published in Psychological Sciencefrom the University of Southern California David School ofGerontology, seniors that face stereotypes regarding theirmental well-being can experience a greater cognitive declinethan those that are not frequently stereotyped, according to astudy published in Psychological Science from the Universityof Southern California David School of Gerontology.

Previous research found that 70 percent of seniors exposed toage stereotypes met the criteria for dementia, compared to only14 percent that were not exposed to stereotyping. Researchersalso found that older adults are constantly stereotyped, andseen as forgetful or senile due to “senior moments.”
