Skin Cancer in Seniors: Development, Identification, and Risk Reduction
|
Skin cancer is consistently reported to be the most common form of cancer in the United States, affecting more than one million people every year - many of whom are 65 years of age or older. While many are aware of the three types of skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma - the actual development of skin cancer may not be as well known.

Food Allergies: Detection and Management for Seniors
|
In theory, it can be easy to confuse food intolerance for a food allergy. The former primarily involves the digestive system and its inability to properly break down certain foods. Food intolerance can cause everything from nausea to bloating and cramps.
|
Staying physically active is important at every stage of our lives, but as we grow older, it becomes especially vital. Engaging in the recommended daily amount of moderate activity has numerous long-term benefits, but it can also improve overall health for those with certain conditions and disabilities.
|
|
|
The National Cancer Institute estimates that between 40-50% of Americans, 65 years of age or older, will develop some form of skin cancer at least once.
It is estimated that 5-10% of the elderly population is faced with food allergies - but that the prevalence is underestimated and undertreated.
The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate activity each day of the week, for optimal heart health.
