The Aging Brain: Maturity & Making Health Transitionspkebel
This presentation by Alicia I. Arbaje, M.D. was given at the 2010 RWJF Local Funding Partnerships Annual Meeting in St. Paul, MN.
Aging is a time of physical, emotional, cognitive, psychosocial and health care transitions that vary in rate and severity from one individual to another. We are actively learning about the way the human brain changes in the later years of our lives. What can older individuals, their families, and our human service organizations do to maintain or improve quality of life as older adults navigate these transitions?
This presentation looks at how decisions at times of transition can make the difference between independence and isolation, socialization and loneliness, maintaining vigor and declining health. It will focus on how best practices may be influenced by rural or urban locations, economic status and nonprofit versus commercial interests. We will also look at issues related to housing, physical activity, recovery from loss or illness and intergenerational relationships.forth
