New findings from the National Poll on Healthy Aging suggest many people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s need to do more to modify their homes or plan for services they may need if they want to avoid or delay needing to move. The poll also shows differences in aging-in-place readiness among the 28% of older adults who told the poll that they live alone.

Nearly half of all older adults now die with a diagnosis of dementia listed on their medical record, up 36% from two decades ago, a new study led by Julie Bynum, M.D., M.P.H., professor of internal medicine, shows. But that sharp rise may have more to do with better public awareness, more detailed medical records and Medicare billing practices than an actual rise in the condition.

A new study led by John Hollingsworth, M.D., M.S., professor of urology, and published in JAMA Health Forum, shows that Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) with higher percentages of members of racial and ethnic minority groups tended to have higher percentages of out-of-network primary care. That meant the patient’s routine care was delivered by a provider with no connection to the ACO, and therefore no potential financial benefit if they hit the quality benchmarks.
